Nothing like sh_none is in the standard.  To get the effect you'll need to
write or find something beyond the standard.

The following combinations of ios flags, when used with filebuf, should
(according to the standard) fail if the file doesn't already exist:
(in),(in|out),(binary|in),(binary|in|out).  They correspond to fopen() flags
"r", "r+", "rb" and "r+b".

Hi,

My problem is as follows : I'm moving from <iostream.h> to <iostream>. I
was using :
'filebuf::sh_none' to gain exclusive control of a file and
'ios::nocreate' to fail whenever the
file was not already there.

I can't seem to find anything like it in the new header files. Can you
tell me how to get the
same effect in another way ? same way ?

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Rami
