I agree, partly.  There really are C FILEs, not generic files.  
I suggest "c_file_buf".  

I agree with Gaby that the <c*> header naming convention is not 
closely related.  Still, that *is* where the 'c' prefix came from.  
According to the originator of the convention, those headers were 
distinguished by it as representing our unfortunate C inheritance, 
which we hoped someday to transcend (and deprecate).
