Check to see if a file has content inside

[Hedgehog Ninja]

What would be an easy implementation of reading a file to see if there are contents inside for a beginner?

[JLBorges]

inline bool has_content( const std::string& path )
{ return std::ifstream(path).peek() != std::ifstream::traits_type::eof() ; }
