basic_filebuf<charT, traits>* rdbuf() const;
Returns: const_­cast<basic_­filebuf<charT, traits>*>(addressof(sb)).
bool is_open() const;
Returns: rdbuf()->is_­open().
void open(const char* s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out); void open(const filesystem::path::value_type* s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out); // wide systems only; see [fstream.syn]
Effects: Calls rdbuf()->open(s, mode | ios_­base​::​out).
If that function does not return a null pointer calls clear(), otherwise calls setstate(​failbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​failure) ([iostate.flags]).
void close();
Effects: Calls rdbuf()->close() and, if that function fails (returns a null pointer), calls setstate(​failbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​failure) ([iostate.flags]).
void open(const string& s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out); void open(const filesystem::path& s, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out);
Effects: Calls open(s.c_­str(), mode).
