[Boost-users] Data type to handle C++ and Boost streams?

Hi all,

Bit of a basic question - I'd like to have some functions that work with files
(using std::fstream) but can also handle boost::iostreams.  Is there a data
type I can use that can handle both?  For example:

  void writeSomeData(std::fstream out);

I can't pass a boost::iostream::stream to this function.  What type can I use
to achieve this?

Many thanks,
Adam.
