- Run, don't walk, to your nearest technical bookstore and buy "C++
- IOStreams Handbook" by Steve Teale. This is the current bible on
- IOStreams. It talks about the entire implementation of the
- ios-streambuf hierarchy. It also includes various techniques for
- creating specialized streams.
-
- I am a big fan of IO streams and this book helped me to understand
- and develop that enthusiasm.
-
- One warning. C++ IOStreams Handbook was published in 1993, so for
- obvious reasons it documented current art at that time. The C++
- standards committee has seen fit to change IO Streams in many ways.
- I hope that Steve is considering a second publishing of this book
- after the standard is completed.
