need help with Borland c++ 5.02

hi everybody

my question is : how can I see functions prototype in a library in

Borland c++ 5.02

for example

the function istream (cin) in the library "iostrem .h"

I could be wrong, but isnt Borland 5.02 a command line compiler?

Thats is a now a deceprected header. Drop the .h and use

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

---

and header file is not a library - it is a text file, you can open it and search for the function prototype you are intrested...

But better use some language reference containing all the function prototypes

>> Thats is a now a deceprected header.
<iostream.h> is not deprecated by the C++ standard. Deprecated implies that it is standard and will work on standards-compliant compilers, but <iostream.h> is completely non-standard and does not work on some modern compilers.

thanks guys ................ but i mean that how can i open a "header file " and see the prototypes and syntax of the functions or classes there

thank you again ............... i hope its clear now

Open it like any other file, in your IDE or your favourite text editor.

You can look at header files to find details about functions etc, but sometimes it can be tough to find things. Try some (possibly online) man pages or cppreference.com.
