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’;
           }
