- The g++ iostream library is based primarily on the AT&T iostream
- library, that shipped with cfront 2.0. It should be discussed in
- any text for that level of the language. It is described briefly
- in Lippman "C++ Primer 2nd Edition" and Stroustrup "C++ Programming
- language 2nd edition". More extensive documentation including man
- pages and a paper entitled "Iostream Examples" (by myself) is shipped
- with most cfront ports. As far as I know there are no ftpable documents.
