Features

• Provides a detailed description of IOStreams
• Introduces the use of IOStreams facilities
• Describes the motivation for the IOStreams system and the public interfaces and behavior of the component classes
• Provides key reference and tutorial for C++ programmers
• Presents excellent rationale on how to manipulate IOStreams
