basic_fstream( basic_fstream&& other );	(3)	(C++11 feature)

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

open	opens a file and associates it with the stream (public member function)
