13.11 iostream Man Pages
A number of C++ man pages give details of the iostream library. The
following table gives an overview of what is in each man page.
To access a classic iostream library man page, type:

Table 13-3 iostream Man Pages Overview
|
|
filebuf |
Details the public interface for
the class filebuf, which is derived from streambuf and is specialized for use with
files. See the sbufpub(3CC4) and sbufprot(3CC4) man pages for details of features inherited
from class streambuf. Use the filebuf class through class fstream. |
fstream |
Details specialized member functions
of classes ifstream, ofstream, and fstream, which are specialized versions of istream, ostream,
and iostream for use with files. |
ios |
Details parts of class ios, which functions
as a base class for iostreams. It contains state data common to all streams. |
ios.intro |
Gives
an introduction to and overview of iostreams. |
istream |
Details the following:
Member functions for class istream, which supports interpretation of characters fetched from a streambuf
Input formatting
Positioning functions described as part of class ostream.
Some related functions
Related manipulators
|
manip |
Describes the input and
output manipulators defined in the iostream library. |
ostream |
Details the following:
Member functions for class ostream, which supports interpretation of characters written to a streambuf
Output formatting
Positioning functions described as part of class ostream
Some related functions
Related manipulators

sbufprot |
Describes the interface needed
by programmers who are coding a class derived from class streambuf. Also refer
to the sbufpub(3CC4) man page because some public functions are not discussed in
the sbufprot(3CC4) man page. |
sbufpub |
Details the public interface of class streambuf, in particular, the
public member functions of streambuf. This man page contains the information needed to
manipulate a streambuf-type object directly, or to find out about functions that classes
derived from streambuf inherit from it. If you want to derive a
class from streambuf, also see the sbufprot(3CC4) man page. |
ssbuf |
Details the specialized public
interface of class strstreambuf, which is derived from streambuf and specialized for dealing with
arrays of characters. See the sbufpub(3CC4) man page for details of features inherited
from class streambuf. |
stdiobuf |
Contains a minimal description of class stdiobuf, which is derived from
streambuf and specialized for dealing with stdio FILEs. See the sbufpub(3CC4) man page for
details of features inherited from class streambuf. |
strstream |
Details the specialized member functions of
strstreams, which are implemented by a set of classes derived from the iostream
classes and specialized for dealing with arrays of characters. |
