istream supports various get() methods that map quite closely to read.
ostream supports various put() methods that map quite closely to write.

they support seekp() (seek the get pointer), and seeg() seek the
get pointer().

Any man page or documentation of ostream and istream should tell
you all this and more.  If you want to use an input routine that takes a
count and a delimiter but you don't care about a delimiter, just use EOF
for the delimiter.

    if by "in C++" you mean "using iostreams instead of stdio",
    istream::read() and ostream::write(), respectively.

I would like to know what are the equivalents for "fread" and "fwrite" in
C++.
I couldn't any help in Borland documentation, neither in gcc one. They just
say that the iostreams libraries can read or write binary files but they
don't say how.

I need to know this because I don't want to use stdio.h which is most of the
time incompatible with iostream.h .

I would appreciate any help, so please could someone answer to my question?

Thanks in advance,
   A. Younes
