Specifying binary output?

Hi,

I´ve made a program which should output som binary data. The problem is that more bytes than I specify gets out, and somehow the data seems a little corrupt. It´s only a problem under Windows, so I´ll guess it´s because there is some translation of bytes in the run. The code is:

Code:

---

bool ppmImage::WriteRaw(ostream& out){
        int size;
        if((width==0)&&(height==0)){return false;}
        size=width;
        size*=height;
        size*=3;
        out.write((const char*) data_p,size);
        return true;
}

---

Is there a way I can specify, that output should be considered binary, like:

Code:

---

out.settype(BINARY);

---

or an equivalent function??

Use "ios::binary" in the mode when you open the file. It will be ignored on other OS's that don't do newline translations.

And what if it is standard output? How do I specify "cout" to be binary?

You will have to use setmode() on stdout. This is Windows specific so....
