stream_file

Typedef for the typical usage of a stream-oriented file.

typedef basic_stream_file stream_file;

Name	Description
rebind_executor	Rebinds the file type to another executor.
executor_type	The type of the executor associated with the object.
flags	A bitmask type (C++ Std [lib.bitmask.types]).
native_handle_type	The native representation of a file.
seek_basis	Basis for seeking in a file.

Name	Description
assign	Assign an existing native file to the file.
async_read_some	Start an asynchronous read.
async_write_some	Start an asynchronous write.
basic_stream_file [constructor]	Construct a basic_stream_file without opening it. — Construct and open a basic_stream_file. — Construct a basic_stream_file on an existing native file. — Move-construct a basic_stream_file from another. — Move-construct a basic_stream_file from a file of another executor type.
cancel	Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the file.
close	Close the file.
get_executor	Get the executor associated with the object.
is_open	Determine whether the file is open.
native_handle	Get the native file representation.
open	Open the file using the specified path.
operator=	Move-assign a basic_stream_file from another. — Move-assign a basic_stream_file from a file of another executor type.
read_some	Read some data from the file.
release	Release ownership of the underlying native file.
resize	Alter the size of the file.
seek	Seek to a position in the file.
size	Get the size of the file.
sync_all	Synchronise the file to disk.
sync_data	Synchronise the file data to disk.
write_some	Write some data to the file.
~basic_stream_file [destructor]	Destroys the file.

Name	Description
append [static]	Open the file in append mode.
create [static]	Create the file if it does not exist.
exclusive [static]	Ensure a new file is created. Must be combined with create.
read_only [static]	Open the file for reading.
read_write [static]	Open the file for reading and writing.
sync_all_on_write [static]	Open the file so that write operations automatically synchronise the file data and metadata to disk.
truncate [static]	Open the file with any existing contents truncated.
write_only [static]	Open the file for writing.

The basic_stream_file class template provides asynchronous and blocking stream-oriented file functionality.
