In many cases, but not all, that will be sufficient.

The most common questions about porting have to do with open mode and the
various flags in std::iso_base (formerly ios). There is not a one to one

When in doubt, grab a copy of "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by Klaus
Kreft and Angelika Langer.
