std::FILE(3)		       C++ Standard Libary		    std::FILE(3)

NAME
     std::FILE - std::FILE

Synopsis
	Defined in header <cstdio>
	typedef /* unspecified */ FILE;

	Each std::FILE object denotes a C stream.

	C  standard  (referenced  by  C++  standard)  does  not  specify whether
     std::FILE is a
	complete object  type.	While  it  may	be  possible  to  copy	a  valid
     std::FILE, using a
	pointer  to  such  a copy as an argument for an I/O function invokes un-
     specified
	behavior. In other words, std::FILE may be semantically non-copyable.

	I/O streams can be used for both unformatted  and  formatted  input  and
     output.
	Furthermore, the functions that handle input and output can also be
	locale-sensitive,  such that wide/multibyte conversions are performed as
     necessary.

Notes
	POSIX explicitly requires that the LC_CTYPE facet of the  currently  in-
     stalled C
	locale be stored within the FILE object the moment the stream's orienta-
     tion becomes
	wide; POSIX requires that this LC_CTYPE facet be used for all future I/O
     on this
	stream	until  the  orientation is changed, regardless of any subsequent
     call to
	std::setlocale.

	It is intended that each line of text be composed of data that	are  es-
     sentially
	human-readable.  POSIX	implementations  do not distinguish between text
     and binary
	streams (there is no special mapping for '\n' or any other characters).
