[edit] Parameters
filename | - | file name to associate the file stream to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
mode | - | null-terminated character string determining file access mode

[edit] Return value
If successful, returns a pointer to the object that controls the opened file stream, with both eof and error bits cleared. The stream is fully buffered unless filename refers to an interactive device.
On error, returns a null pointer. POSIX requires that errno is set in this case.
[edit] Notes
The format of filename
is implementation-defined, and does not necessarily refer to a file (e.g. it may be the console or another device accessible though filesystem API). On platforms that support them, filename
may include absolute or relative filesystem path.
For portable directory and file naming, see C++ filesystem TS or boost.filesystem
