<title>Boost Filesystem fstream Header</title>

<h2><a name="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>The C++ Standard Library's <i>&lt;fstream&gt;</i> header uses <i>const char*</i> to
pass arguments representing file names, with that usage occurring in seven
times.</p>
<p>The Filesystem Library's <i>fstream.hpp</i> header provides, in namespace <i>
boost::filesystem</i>, equivalent components, except that the seven&nbsp; <i>
const char*</i> arguments have been replaced by <i>const path&amp;</i> arguments.</p>
<p>The implementation simply uses the <i>&lt;fstream&gt;</i> standard library
components as base classes, and then overrides the members with changed argument
types.</p>
<p>For the moment, the only other documentation beyond the
<a href="index.htm#tutorial">tutorial</a> and <a href="index.htm#Examples">
examples</a> is the header itself.&nbsp; See <a href="../../../boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp">boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp</a>.</p>
