fstream(3)

fstream(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual entry for fstream(3) — C++ file streams but make it group chat. No cap, this page is giving “header that does file I/O” energy, and we are keeping every signature, define, and little source-code quirk exactly where it belongs. Slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• fstream — the source just says fstream -, and honestly? Minimalist icon behavior. She ate and left no crumbs. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the cast, bestie — signatures copied exactly, no edits, periodt. This lineup is lowkey iconic. 👑

🎀 Classes 🎀

• class std::basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits > — The actual work of input and output (for files). This class associates both its input and output sequence with an external disk file, and maintains a joint file position for both sequences. Many of its semantics are described in terms of similar behavior in the Standard C Library's FILE streams. "
• class std::basic_fstream< _CharT, _Traits > — Controlling input and output for files. This class supports reading from and writing to named files, using the inherited functions from std::basic_iostream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_filebuf is used, which this page refers to as sb. "
• class std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits > — Controlling input for files. This class supports reading from named files, using the inherited functions from std::basic_istream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_filebuf is used, which this page refers to as sb. "
• class std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits > — Controlling output for files. This class supports reading from named files, using the inherited functions from std::basic_ostream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_filebuf is used, which this page refers to as sb. "

yes, every class blurb in the source ends with a stray " — not a typo I invented, bestie, I'm preserving the manual's little gremlin energy. Iykyk. 💀

🦋 Namespaces 🦋

• namespace std — that's the namespace, exactly like that. 💜

🌈 Defines 🌈

• #define _GLIBCXX_FSTREAM — the define, character for character. Periodt. 🎀

💜 Detailed Description 💜

This is a Standard C++ Library header.

Definition in file fstream.

Short and sweet, no notes. 🦋

byeee 💖 — this page is from libstdc++, dated 21 Apr 2009, and it's fstream(3). Stay streamy, bestie. 🌈✨
