a somewhat technical question - i am trying to associate a file descriptor with a file pointer using the C++ fstream class. this function is an extension to the C++ library.
in the documentation that i downloaded from the WEB (http://nf.apac.edu.au/facilities/sc/compaq_mirror3/progtool/cplus/basic_fstream_3c__std.htm) it shows a constructor, explicit basic_fstream(fd). i take this to mean that it can be done. however, it does not provide an example on how to invoke the method.
basically, what i am trying to do is fdopen(), a Linux system call, but using C++.
please do not assume that my knowledge of C++ is extensive. this is by no means the case.
any feedback on how to do this or a pointer to further reference material will be appreciated.
many thanks,
Lucas
