public member function

std::basic_ofstream::swap

void swap (basic_ofstream& x);

Swap internals

Exchanges all internal data between x and *this.

Internally, the function calls basic_ostream::swap and then calls the member swap of the associated basic_filebuf object.

Parameters

x: Another basic_ofstream object of the same type (i.e., with the same template parameters charT and traits).

Return Value

none

Example

// swapping ofstream objects
#include <fstream>      // std::ofstream

int main () {
  std::ofstream foo;
  std::ofstream bar ("test.txt");

  foo.swap(bar);

  foo << "lorem ipsum";

  foo.close();

  return 0;
}
