Non-member functions

swap(std::basic_ifstream) (C++11)

 

void close();

Closes the associated file.

Effectively calls rdbuf()->close(). If an error occurs during operation, setstate(failbit) is called.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

(none)

Notes

This function is called by the destructor of basic_ifstream when the stream object goes out of scope and is not usually invoked directly.

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	flushes the put area buffer and closes the associated file (public member function of std::basic_filebuf<CharT,Traits>)
