For the C language, a variable is only initialized if you code an
initializer to the definition.
_RFILE *fp = NULL;
If fp is static, it would be set to NULL once, during activation. If it
is automatic, it would be fresh storage set to NULL every time the
function gets called.
If you don't code an initializer, it might be NULL, or it might be set
to a pointer. This is true whether it is static or automatic.
In your original code, it didn't matter how it was initialized, since
you always set it immediately. But if you make it static, you'll have
to add an initializer if you want to test it before setting it.
