Third party C++ library offer system API?

S

sam

Hi,

I wonder if there is any C++ library offer low level system API calls.
My application need to invoke quite alow of low level system operation,
butI want to develop my app in C++. I have looked at ACE/TAO, althought
it has implemented quite a few system APIs, but still missing some
important ones like open a file with permission bits, and I don't know
how much they are compabible with the standard C++ objects, eg. when
open a file, its return obj is fstream. If returned a FILE * pointer, it
might be useless to make it compatible with fstream.... etc.

Any suggestion and guideline is welcome.

Thanks
Sam

If you implement for UNIX this may be interesting for you:

BTW, stdio IS C++!
