Raw Pointers?

Dear Fellows,
I have been searching for what exactly the Raw Pointers are in C++ but not getting exact answer of it. if any one can help me to tell what exactly this means, and there was a statement in a forum that object of a class contains raw pointers what does this mean?

Waiting for reply

 
int* rawPtr;


That's it. A raw pointer is just simply a pointer with nothing else. The counter side is smart pointers or shared pointers.
