STDIOBUF(3C++) STDIOBUF(3C++)
NAMEstdiobuf - iostream specialized to stdio FILE
SYNOPSIS
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdiostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
class stdiobuf : public streambuf {
stdiobuf(FILE* f);
FILE* stdiofile();
};
DESCRIPTION
Operations on a stdiobuf are reflected on the associated FILE. A
stdiobuf is constructed in unbuffered mode, which causes all operations
to be reflected immediately in the FILE. seekg()s and seekp()s are
translated into fseek()s. setbuf() has its usual meaning; if it supplies
a reserve area, buffering will be turned back on.
CAVEATSstdiobuf is intended to be used when mixing C and C++ code. New C++ code
should prefer to use filebufs, which have better performance.
