  Description
 
  The ofstream class is an ostream derivative specialized for disk file
  output. All of its constructors automatically create and associate a
  filebuf buffer object.
 
  The filebuf class documentation describes the get and put areas and
  their associated pointers. Only the put area and the put pointer are
  active for the ofstream class.
