View Ref-File[ Storage Classes: auto ]

Default class for all local variables (those defined inside a function
or local block): 

  {
    int i;  /* i is auto /*
    ...
  }         /* i is no longer defined */

Variables are stored on the stack, and are lost when the block ends.

The variable name will only be defined within that block { }.
