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.
