Subject:	Get file size in C++

How is it possible to get the size of a file in C++?  I know if I opened
a file in C w/ "FILE *f;" that I just include "io.h" & use printf to print its
size from the return val of "filelength(fileno(f))" but I'm using ifstream &
"fstream.h" to open my files.  I looked thru the "lang/cxx/" dir & found
"iostdio.h" which makes some of the "stdio.h" defines equivalent to _IO_*
including "#define fileno _IO_fileno" //line 107// but I dont see how I can
do the same with "ifstream f".  any suggestions?
