Description

  ofstream class provides a stream interface to write data to files.
  The class mantains internally (privately) a pointer to a filebuf object in charge of the interaction with the file. This pointer can be obtained/modified by calling member rdbuf.
  The file to be processed can be specified as a parameter for the constructor or by calling member open.
  After a file is processed it can be closed by calling member close. In this case the file stream may be used to open another file.
  Member is_open can be used to determine wether the stream is currently operating on a file or not.
  Please refer to parent classes for more details on information mantained by an ofstream object.
