Notes
This function is called automatically when swapping std::fstream objects, it is rarely necessary to call it directly.
Example
Run this code
#include <fstream> #include <string> #include <iostream> int main() { std::ifstream fin("test.in"); // read-only std::ofstream fout("test.out"); // write-only std::string s; getline(fin, s); std::cout << s << '\n'; // outputs the first line of test.in fin.rdbuf()->swap(*fout.rdbuf()); //swap the underlying buffers getline(fin, s); // fails: cannot read from a write-only filebuf std::cout << s << '\n'; // prints empty line }
