Whats the most C++'esque way of emptying a file?

Hi, I need to either remove all data from a file, or just delete the file. Whats the best way of going about this?

I'd prefer not to use rm -f via a system call

Regards,

Truncating the file to 0 also works if you plan on writing something else to it.

Opening the file in "write" mode automatically does this.
