Pointers displayed during usage of TBrowser


I open root from the terminal, then do new TBrowser, then browse to a file and double-click. In the terminal, I see something like root [1] (TFile *) 0x58dba3a3ee50

Is the hex number here a pointer or address or something? Can I somehow use it and put it in a variable so I can work with the file I opened, without having to do TFile* f = new TFile("long_filename.root")? (And this isn’t restricted to just files)

ROOT Version: 6.34.02
Platform: Linux (Ubuntu)
