Do you mean the protection (read/write) flags ? Anyway this
is completly OS specific. It's probably not supported anymore.

Hello all,

I noticed that the pre-standard fstream classes had a constructor argument
that selected the sharing mode for the file being opened. The standard
fstream classes no longer have the sharing mode argument.

Why was this argument removed from the standard? Is there a preferred method
of setting the sharing mode when using the standard fstreams or is this not
supported anymore?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
