   file io [c++]
  Whats the most common/basic file io library in c++, I'm looking for tutorial/code snippets and I want to narrow my search, thanks   
  That would be iostreams, which is part of the standard library.   ;  Got it, thanks!   ;  Since we're specifically looking for file IO, wouldn't that be fstream?Edit: Oh wait, or were you referring simply to the concept of IO streams, not the actual class iostream?
