std::basic_ofstream(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_ofstream(3) NAME std::basic_ofstream - std::basic_ofstream Synopsis Defined in header <fstream> template< class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> > class basic_ofstream : public std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits> The class template basic_ofstream implements high-level output opera- tions on file based streams. It interfaces a file-based streambuffer (std::basic_file- buf) with the high-level interface of (std::basic_ostream). A typical implementation of std::basic_ofstream holds only one non-de- rived data member: an instance of std::basic_filebuf<CharT, Traits>. std-basic ofstream-inheritance.svg Inheritance diagram Several typedefs for common character types are provided: Defined in header <fstream> Type Definition std::ofstream std::basic_ofstream<char> std::wofstream std::basic_ofstream<wchar_t> Member types Member type Definition char_type CharT traits_type Traits; the program is ill-formed if Traits::char_type is not CharT. int_type Traits::int_type pos_type Traits::pos_type off_type Traits::off_type native_handle_type(C++26) implementation-defined type that is Trivially- Copyable and semiregular Member functions constructor constructs the file stream (public member function) destructor destructs the basic_ofstream and the as- sociated [virtual] (implicitly declared) buffer, closes the file (virtual public member function) operator= moves the file stream (C++11) (public member function) swap swaps two file streams (C++11) (public member function) rdbuf returns the underlying raw file device object (public member function) native_handle returns the underlying implementation- defined handle (C++26) (public member function) File operations is_open checks if the stream has an associated file (public member function) open opens a file and associates it with the stream (public member function) close closes the associated file (public member function) Non-member functions std::swap(std::basic_ofstream) specializes the std::swap algorithm (C++11) (function template) Inherited from std::basic_ostream Member functions Formatted output operator<< inserts formatted data (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) Unformatted output put inserts a character (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) write inserts blocks of characters (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) Positioning tellp returns the output position indicator (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) seekp sets the output position indicator (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) Miscellaneous flush synchronizes with the underlying storage device (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) Member classes sentry implements basic logic for preparation of the stream for output operations (public member class of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>) Inherited from std::basic_ios Member types Member type Definition char_type CharT traits_type Traits int_type Traits::int_type pos_type Traits::pos_type off_type Traits::off_type Member functions State functions good checks if no error has occurred i.e. I/O operations are available (public member function of std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>) eof checks if end-of-file has been reached (public member function of std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>) fail checks if an error has occurred (public member function of std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>) bad checks if a non-recoverable error has occurred (public member function of std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>) operator!
