function template
<fstream>

std::swap (basic_fstream)

template <class charT, class traits> void swap (basic_fstream<charT,traits>& x, basic_fstream<charT,traits>& y);
Swap file streams
Exchanges the values of the basic_fstream objects x and y.

This is an overload of the generic algorithm swap that behaves as if x.swap(y) was called.

Parameters

x,y
basic_fstream objects of the same type (i.e., having both the same template parameters, charT and traits).

Return value

none

// swapping fstream objects #include <fstream> // std::fstream int main () { std::fstream foo; std::fstream bar ("test.txt"); swap(foo,bar); foo << "lorem ipsum"; foo.close(); return 0; }

Data races

Both objects, x and y, are modified.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
