Say I want to copy the contents of a file into memory, how do I do the actual copy. Eg

boost::filesystem::path p = "file.txt"

const unsigned int filesize = boost::filesystem::file_size( p );

unsigned char* buffer = new unsigned char[filesize];

// how do I copy file contents into buffer?

You'll want to use boost::filesystem::fstream (in boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp) In Christ, Steven Watanabe
