std::basic_fstream::basic_fstream

From cppreference.com
basic_fstream( const char *filename,
               ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in|ios_base::out );
(1)
basic_fstream( const string &filename,                                  
               ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::in|ios_base::out );
(2) (since C++11)
basic_fstream( basic_fstream&& other );
(3) (since C++11)

Constructs new file stream.

1-2) Associates the stream with a file after the constriction. Calls clear() on success or setstate(failbit) on failure.

The first version effectively calls rdbuf()->open(filename, mode).

The second version effectively calls open(filename.c_str(), mode).

3) Move constructor. Constructs the file stream with the state of other using move semantics.

[edit] Parameters

filename - the name of the file to be opened
mode - specifies stream open mode. It is bitmask type, the following constants are defined:
Constant Explanation
app seek to the end of stream before each write
binary open in binary mode
in open for reading
out open for writing
trunc discard the contents of the stream when opening
ate seek to the end of stream immediately after open
other - another file stream to use as source
