Today the recommended way to use stdio types with libstdc++ IOStreams is via the <code class="code">stdio_filebuf</code> class (see below), but earlier releases provided slightly different mechanisms. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>3.0.x <code class="code">filebuf</code>s have another ctor with this signature: <code class="code">basic_filebuf(__c_file_type*, ios_base::openmode, int_type); </code> This comes in very handy in a number of places, such as attaching Unix sockets, pipes, and anything else which uses file descriptors, into the IOStream buffering classes. The three arguments are as follows: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">__c_file_type* F </code> // the __c_file_type typedef usually boils down to stdio's FILE </p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">ios_base::openmode M </code> // same as all the other uses of openmode </p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">int_type B </code> // buffer size, defaults to BUFSIZ if not specified </p></li></ul></div><p> For those wanting to use file descriptors instead of FILE*'s, I invite you to contemplate the mysteries of C's <code class="code">fdopen()</code>. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>In library snapshot 3.0.95 and later, <code class="code">filebuf</code>s bring back an old extension: the <code class="code">fd()</code> member function. The integer returned from this function can be used for whatever file descriptors can be used for on your platform. Naturally, the library cannot track what you do on your own with a file descriptor, so if you perform any I/O directly, don't expect the library to be aware of it. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Beginning with 3.1, the extra <code class="code">filebuf</code> constructor and the <code class="code">fd()</code> function were removed from the standard filebuf. Instead, <code class="code"><ext/stdio_filebuf.h></code> contains a derived class called <a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/a00074.html" target="_top"><code class="code">__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code></a>. This class can be constructed from a C <code class="code">FILE*</code> or a file descriptor, and provides the <code class="code">fd()</code> function. </p></li></ul></div><p>If you want to access a <code class="code">filebuf</code>'s file descriptor to implement file locking (e.g. using the <code class="code">fcntl()</code> system call) then you might be interested in Henry Suter's RWLock class. </p><p> </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ext_iterators.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="extensions.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ext_demangling.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 38.
