[Boost-users] Re: boost::filesystem - no create_file or create_tmp_file?

Empty file is simple:

ofstream ofs("name of file");

But it would be helpful if boost would add a function that would fail if the file already exists. The current STL doesn't support this so you have to fall back to platform API (in Win32, CreateFile has a flag to do this). This would be a very useful feature IMHO. Cheers Russell
