31.10.6 Class template basic_fstream [fstream]

31.10.6.2 Constructors [fstream.cons]

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_filebuf<charT, traits>().

explicit basic_fstream( const char* s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out); explicit basic_fstream( const filesystem::path::value_type* s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out); // wide systems only; see [fstream.syn]

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_filebuf<charT, traits>().

Then calls rdbuf()->open(s, mode).

If that function returns a null pointer, calls setstate(failbit).

explicit basic_fstream( const string& s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);

Effects: Equivalent to basic_fstream(s.c_str(), mode).

template<class T> explicit basic_fstream(const T& s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);

Constraints: is_same_v<T, filesystem​::​path> is true.

Effects: Equivalent to basic_fstream(s.c_str(), mode).

basic_fstream(basic_fstream&& rhs);

Effects: Move constructs the base class, and the contained basic_filebuf.

Then calls basic_istream<charT, traits>​::​set_rdbuf(​addressof(sb)) to install the contained basic_filebuf.
