A better (advanced) way is to do it the Lisp way: 

with_open_outfile "filename" (fun chan -> 
  output_string chan name
 );


where with_open_outfile is defined by:

let with_open_outfile filename f = 
 let chan = open_out filename in
 let res = f chan in
 begin
   close_out chan;
   res
 end

Everywhere where 2 functions must be balanced (here open and close), it is cleaner to introduce
a single higher-order function to enforce such a protocol.

You can also use a function  unwind_protect (again invented by the Lisp folk I think)
to  also automagically close the channel when  f raise an exception.

Actually, I should've just linked you to the standard library
documentation (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/index.html).
