std::basic_filebuf::open
| std::basic_filebuf<CharT, Traits>* open( const char* s, std::ios_base::openmode mode ) |
(1) | |
| std::basic_filebuf<CharT, Traits>* open( const std::string& s, std::ios_base::openmode mode ) |
(2) | (since C++11) |
Opens the file whose name is given by
1) the null-terminated narrow byte string s
2) the null-terminated narrow byte string s.c_str()
as if by calling std::fopen(s, modestring), where modestring is determined as follows:
| modestring | openmode & ~ate |
| "r" | in |
| "w" | out, out|trunc |
| "a" | app, out|app |
| "r+" | out|in |
| "w+" | out|in|trunc |
| "a+" | out|in|app, in|app |
| "rb" | binary|in |
| "wb" | binary|out, binary|out|trunc |
| "ab" | binary|app, binary|out|app |
| "r+b" | binary|out|in |
| "w+b" | binary|out|in|trunc |
| "a+b" | binary|out|in|app, binary|in|app |
If openmode is not one of the modes listed, the open() fails.
If the open operation succeeds and openmode & std::ios_base::ate != 0 (the ate bit is set), repositions the file position to the end of file, as if by calling std::fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END). If the repositioning fails, calls close() and returns a null pointer to indicate failure.
If the associated file was already open, returns a null pointer right away.

[edit] Parameters
| s | - | the file name to open |
| openmode | - | the file opening mode, a binary OR of the std::ios_base modes |
[edit] Return value
*this on success, a null pointer on failure.
[edit] Notes
open() is typically called through the constructor or the open() member function of std::basic_fstream.
