HP C++ (cfront) Compatibility Libraries
HP aC++ provides the following library, whose functionality is part of the HP C++ (cfront) compiler.
This library is not Standards based.
• IOStream Library
IOStream Library
The shared version of this library is located at /usr/lib/hpux##/libstream.so. The archive
version is at /usr/lib/hpux##/libstream.a. (## is 32 or 64 - provided as part of the HP-UX
core system).
Manpages
The following manpages are located in the /opt/aCC/share/man/man3.Z directory:
• IOS.INTRO(3C++) - Introduction to the C++ stream library
• filebuf(3C++) - Buffer for file input and output
• fstream(3C++) - iostream and streambuf specialized to files
• ios(3C++) - input/output formatting
• istream(3C++) - formatted and unformatted input
• manip(3C++) - iostream manipulators
• ostream(3C++) - insertion (storing) into a streambuf
• sbuf.prot(3C++) - interface for derived classes
• sbuf.pub(3C++) - public interface of character buffering class
• ssbuf(3C++) - streambuf specialized to arrays
• stdiobuf(3C++) - iostream specialized to stdio file
• strstream(3C++) - iostream specialized to arrays
To invoke a manpage from the command line, enter 3s after the man command and before the
manpage name.
Example:
Enter the following command to invoke the manpage for filebuf:
man 3s filebuf
Header Files
Use the following header files with the IOStream library.
• iostream.h - I/O streams classes ios, istream, ostream, and streambuf
• fstream.h
• strstream.h - streambuf specialized to arrays
• iomanip.h - predefined manipulators and macros
• stdiostream.h - specialized streams and streambufs for interaction with stdio
• stream.h - includes iostream.h, fstream.h, stdiostream.h and iomanip.h for
compatibility with AT&T USL C++ v 1.2
To direct the compiler to search these header files, enter the following command:
-I/opt/aCC/include/iostream.
