FBB::TempStream(3bobcat)       Temporary fstream      FBB::TempStream(3bobcat)



NAME
       FBB::TempStream - Temporary fstream

SYNOPSIS
       #include <bobcat/tempstream>


DESCRIPTION
       FBB::TempStream objects are temporary std::fstreams opened with mode
       0600 (user only read+write). The file created by a TempStream object is
       removed from the file system once the TempStream object goes out of
       scope.

       A TempStream object creates an empty file, and information can
       immediately be inserted into the TempStream object. To switch between
       insertion and extraction simply call seekg (for extraction) or seekp
       (for insertion).

NAMESPACE
       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in
       this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM
       std::fstream

CONSTRUCTORS
       o      TempStream(std::string const &base = "/tmp/FBB::TempStream"):
              The constructor initializes the object and creates a file with
              the given base-name to which six random characters are appended.
              If the TempStream could not be constructed an FBB::Exception is
              thrown.


       Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are not
       available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS
       All std::fstream members are available, as FBB::TempStream inherits
       from this class. In addition, TempStream itself offers

       o      std::string const &fileName() const:
              The name of the created temporary file.


EXAMPLE

           #include <iostream>
           #include <bobcat/tempstream>

           using namespace std;
           using namespace FBB;

           int main()
           {
               TempStream ts("/tmp/demo");

               ts << "Hello world\n";

               ts.seekg(0);
               string line;
               getline(ts, line);
               cout << line << ", removed: " << ts.fileName() << '\n';
           }
