How to get file pointer?

Question

C++ / C#

The C language , when working with files, uses a pointer to a file, and libraries written on it do the same.
But C++ uses OOP sort of without this pointer.
Maybe I missed something, and the pointer can be obtained from the object?
As a last resort, if FILE is a structure, is it possible to somehow get / generate this structure from an object?
Do not include 2 libraries for working with files... Although you can return to the C version
. My case is libpng.

Answer 1

Judging from a similar question , there is no standard way to get FILE*from std::fstrream. But there are hacks, see the link .

Answer 2

So what's the problem, the code is still in the standard lib, with which it links anyway. Use both, there is no problem in this, the code is still linked.
