Detailed Description

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ifstream   [inline]
 

Default constructor.

Initializes sb using its default constructor, and passes &sb to the base class initializer. Does not open any files (you haven't given it a filename to open).

Definition at line 487 of file fstream.

References std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::init() .

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ifstream const char *    __s,
ios_base::openmode    __mode = ios_base::in
[inline, explicit]
 

Create an input file stream.

Parameters:
s Null terminated string specifying the filename.
mode Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).
ios_base::in is automatically included in mode.

Tip: When using std::string to hold the filename, you must use .c_str() before passing it to this constructor.

Definition at line 502 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::~basic_ifstream   [inline]
 

The destructor does nothing.

The file is closed by the filebuf object, not the formatting stream.

Definition at line 515 of file fstream.


Member Function Documentation

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
void std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::close   [inline]
 

Close the file.

Calls std::basic_filebuf::close(). If that function fails, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

Definition at line 561 of file fstream.

References std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::setstate() .

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
bool std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::is_open   [inline]
 

Wrapper to test for an open file.

Returns:
rdbuf()->is_open()

Definition at line 534 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
void std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::open const char *    __s,
ios_base::openmode    __mode = ios_base::in
[inline]
 

Opens an external file.

Parameters:
s The name of the file.
mode The open mode flags.
Calls std::basic_filebuf::open(s,mode|in). If that function fails, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

Tip: When using std::string to hold the filename, you must use .c_str() before passing it to this constructor.

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
__filebuf_type* std::basic_ifstream< _CharT, _Traits >::rdbuf   const [inline]
 

Accessing the underlying buffer.

Returns:
The current basic_filebuf buffer.
This hides both signatures of std::basic_ios::rdbuf().

Reimplemented from std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits > .
