std::basic_filebuf<CharT, Traits>* open( const std::string& str, std::ios_base::openmode mode )
|
(2) | (since C++11) |
Opens the file with the given name - either s
or str.c_str().
The file is opened as if by calling std::fopen(s, modestring), where modestring
is determined as follows:
modestring | openmode & ~ate | Action if file already exists | Action if file does not exist |
---|---|---|---|
"r" | in | Read from start | Failure to open |
"w" | out, out|trunc | Destroy contents | Create new |
"a" | app, out|app | Append to file | Create new |
"r+" | out|in | Read from start | Error |
"w+" | out|in|trunc | Destroy contents | Create new |
"a+" | out|in|app, in|app | Write to end | Create new |
"rb" | binary|in | Read from start | Failure to open |
"wb" | binary|out, binary|out|trunc | Destroy contents | Create new |
"ab" | binary|app, binary|out|app | Write to end | Create new |
"r+b" | binary|out|in | Read from start | Error |
"w+b" | binary|out|in|trunc | Destroy contents | Create new |
"a+b" | binary|out|in|app, binary|in|app | Write to end | Create new |
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, str | - | 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.
