Technically it is correct: you’re dumping data to an output file,
and reading the data in from an input file. The documentation
also makes reference to what the “outfile” and “infile” represent.
That being said, I can see how it can be confusing particularly
if you are reading through the documentation quickly. Perhaps
a name like “dumpfile” would be more clear?
