在处理二进制文件时理解Seekg()和seekp()

标签: c++ ios seekg

我是一名CS学生,我正在尝试理解一段代码,但我无法绕过它。这段代码允许用户修改二进制文件中的某个记录(结构)。我不明白records.seekg(recNum * sizeof(person), ios::beg); and records.seekp(recNum * sizeof(person), ios::beg);。为什么rec num使用结构大小的指针。任何帮助是极大的赞赏。

void modify()
{
    int recNum;

    displayAll();

    fstream records("records.dat", ios::in | ios::out | ios::binary);   
    //get record number of the desired record.
    cout << "Which record do you want to edit? ";
    cin >> recNum;

    recNum = recNum - 1;

    records.seekg(recNum * sizeof(person), ios::beg);
    records.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&person), sizeof(person));

    cout << "ID   Age " << " " << "Name" << setw (28) << right << "Phone\n";

    cout << person.id << "  " << left << setw(20) << person.name << right << setw(20) << person.phone << endl;

    //Get new record data.
    cout << "\nEnter the new data:\n";
    cout << "Id: ";
    cin >> person.id;

    cin.ignore();
    cout << "Name: ";
    cin.getline(person.name, NAME_SIZE);

    cout << "Age: ";
    cin >> person.age;

    cin.ignore();
    cout << "Phone: ";
    cin.getline(person.phone, PHONE_SIZE);

    records.seekp(recNum * sizeof(person), ios::beg);
    records.write(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&person),sizeof(person));
    records.close();
}

它没有指向大小的指针,星号只是一个乘法。它将索引乘以存储在文件中的元素的大小。

例如,如果每个记录是20个字节,那么第一个记录将在偏移0处,第二个记录在偏移量20处,然后是40,60等。
