FAQ
This page answers some common project-level questions about cfstream.
cfstream is a lightweight C/C++ header-only library designed to make file input/output operations and redirection easier.
It provides simple interfaces for redirecting standard input and output, using independent C++ file streams, and checking the current library version.
In short, cfstream is a small helper library for local file-based testing and simple file I/O redirection in C and C++ projects.
cfstream is designed for C and C++ users who need a simple way to work with file input and output.
It may be useful for students, beginners, Informatics Olympiad (OI) learners, competitive programming users, and developers working on small C/C++ projects.
It is especially suitable for local testing, debugging, and file-based input/output scenarios where a lightweight helper is enough.

For modern cfstream usage, include the header that matches your language:
| Language | Recommended Header |
|---|---|
| C++ | cfs.hpp |
| C | cfs.h |
If you are writing a C++ project, you should normally use:
#include "cfs.hpp"If you are writing a C project, you should use:
#include "cfs.h"The C header cfs.h can also be included in C++ code for compatibility, but this is not recommended for normal C++ projects.
In C++ projects, cfs.h only provides functionality similar to standard stream redirection in cfs.hpp. It does not provide the C++ namespace-based interface or independent cfs::cin / cfs::cout file streams.
Because cfs.h does not use the cfs namespace, it may also cause naming conflicts in C++ projects.
For C++ users, prefer cfs.hpp unless you specifically need compatibility with the C-style interface.
