Subj : 'std::fstream::filebuf' Help To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Maya Date : Wed Sep 24 2003 12:06 pm Apart from being a pointer, what would be the benefit of using 'std::filebuf' than using the std::fstream? As far as I can see, I would use the same methods in 'filebuf' that I would when using std::fstream. Thus my question, what do I gain by using 'std::filebuf' instead of std::fstream?
