Constructors
o TempStream(std::stringconst&base="/tmp/FBB::TempStream"):
The constructor initializes the object and creates a file with the given base-name to which six
random characters are appended. If the TempStream could not be constructed an FBB::Exception is
thrown.
Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are not available.

Description
FBB::TempStream objects are temporary std::fstreams opened with mode 0600 (user only read+write). The
file created by a TempStream object is removed from the file system once the TempStream object goes out
of scope.
A TempStream object creates an empty file, and information can immediately be inserted into the
TempStream object. To switch between insertion and extraction simply call seekg (for extraction) or seekp
(for insertion).
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/tempstream>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
TempStream ts("/tmp/demo");
ts << "Hello world\n";
ts.seekg(0);
string line;
getline(ts, line);
cout << line << ", removed: " << ts.fileName() << ’\n’;
}
