bool is_open(); | (until C++11) | |
bool is_open() const; | (since C++11) |
Checks if the file stream has an associated file.
Effectively calls rdbuf()->is_open().
Parameters
(none).
Return value
true if the file stream has an associated file, false otherwise.
Example
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::string filename = "some_file";
std::fstream fs(filename, std::ios::in);
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << "fs.is_open() = " << fs.is_open() << '\n';
if(!fs.is_open())
{
fs.clear();
fs.open(filename, std::ios::out);
std::cout << "fs.is_open() = " << fs.is_open() << '\n';
}
}Possible output:
fs.is_open() = false fs.is_open() = true
