This Clause describes components that C++ programs may use to perform input/output operations.
The following subclauses describe requirements for stream parameters, and components for forward declarations of iostreams, predefined iostreams objects, base iostreams classes, stream buffering, stream formatting and manipulators, string streams, and file streams, as summarized in Table [tab:iostreams.lib.summary].
Subclause | Header(s) | |
[iostreams.requirements] | Requirements | |
[iostream.forward] | Forward declarations | <iosfwd> |
[iostream.objects] | Standard iostream objects | <iostream> |
[iostreams.base] | Iostreams base classes | <ios> |
[stream.buffers] | Stream buffers | <streambuf> |
[iostream.format] | Formatting and manipulators | <istream> |
<ostream> | ||
<iomanip> | ||
[string.streams] | String streams | <sstream> |
[file.streams] | File streams | <fstream> |
<cstdio> | ||
<cinttypes> |
Figure [fig:streampos] illustrates relationships among various types described in this clause. A line from A to B indicates that A is an alias (e.g. a typedef) for B or that A is defined in terms of B.
No function described in Clause [input.output] except for ios_base::imbue and basic_filebuf::pubimbue causes any instance of basic_ios::imbue or basic_streambuf::imbue to be called. If any user function called from a function declared in Clause [input.output] or as an overriding virtual function of any class declared in Clause [input.output] calls imbue, the behavior is undefined.
The classes of Clause [input.output] with template arguments charT and traits behave as described if traits::pos_type and traits::off_type are streampos and streamoff respectively. Except as noted explicitly below, their behavior when traits::pos_type and traits::off_type are other types is implementation-defined.
In the classes of Clause [input.output], a template parameter with name charT represents a member of the set of types containing char, wchar_t, and any other implementation-defined character types that satisfy the requirements for a character on which any of the iostream components can be instantiated.
Concurrent access to a stream object ([string.streams], [file.streams]), stream buffer object ([stream.buffers]), or C Library stream ([c.files]) by multiple threads may result in a data race ([intro.multithread]) unless otherwise specified ([iostream.objects]). [ Note: Data races result in undefined behavior ([intro.multithread]). — end note ]
If one thread makes a library call a that writes a value to a stream and, as a result, another thread reads this value from the stream through a library call b such that this does not result in a data race, then a's write synchronizes with b's read.

Default template arguments are described as appearing both in <iosfwd> and in the synopsis of other headers but it is well-formed to include both <iosfwd> and one or more of the other headers.294
[ Note: The class template specialization basic_ios<charT,traits> serves as a virtual base class for the class templates basic_istream, basic_ostream, and class templates derived from them. basic_iostream is a class template derived from both basic_istream<charT,traits> and basic_ostream<charT,traits>.
The class template specialization basic_streambuf<charT,traits> serves as a base class for class templates basic_stringbuf and basic_filebuf.
The class template specialization basic_istream<charT,traits> serves as a base class for class templates basic_istringstream and basic_ifstream.
The class template specialization basic_ostream<charT,traits> serves as a base class for class templates basic_ostringstream and basic_ofstream.
The class template specialization basic_iostream<charT,traits> serves as a base class for class templates basic_stringstream and basic_fstream.
Other typedefs define instances of class templates specialized for char or wchar_t types.
Specializations of the class template fpos are used for specifying file position information.
The types streampos and wstreampos are used for positioning streams specialized on char and wchar_t respectively.
This synopsis suggests a circularity between streampos and char_traits<char>. An implementation can avoid this circularity by substituting equivalent types. One way to do this might be
template<class stateT> class fpos { ... }; // depends on nothing typedef ... _STATE; // implementation private declaration of stateT typedef fpos<_STATE> streampos; template<> struct char_traits<char> { typedef streampos pos_type; }
— end note ]
It is the implementation's responsibility to implement headers so that including <iosfwd> and other headers does not violate the rules about multiple occurrences of default arguments.
#include <ios> #include <streambuf> #include <istream> #include <ostream> namespace std { extern istream cin; extern ostream cout; extern ostream cerr; extern ostream clog; extern wistream wcin; extern wostream wcout; extern wostream wcerr; extern wostream wclog; }
The header <iostream> declares objects that associate objects with the standard C streams provided for by the functions declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]), and includes all the headers necessary to use these objects.
The objects are constructed and the associations are established at some time prior to or during the first time an object of class ios_base::Init is constructed, and in any case before the body of main begins execution.295 The objects are not destroyed during program execution.296 The results of including <iostream> in a translation unit shall be as if <iostream> defined an instance of ios_base::Init with static storage duration. Similarly, the entire program shall behave as if there were at least one instance of ios_base::Init with static storage duration.
Mixing operations on corresponding wide- and narrow-character streams follows the same semantics as mixing such operations on FILEs, as specified in Amendment 1 of the ISO C standard.
Concurrent access to a synchronized ([ios.members.static]) standard iostream object's formatted and unformatted input ([istream]) and output ([ostream]) functions or a standard C stream by multiple threads shall not result in a data race ([intro.multithread]). [ Note: Users must still synchronize concurrent use of these objects and streams by multiple threads if they wish to avoid interleaved characters. — end note ]
If it is possible for them to do so, implementations are encouraged to initialize the objects earlier than required.
Constructors and destructors for static objects can access these objects to read input from stdin or write output to stdout or stderr.
After the object cin is initialized, cin.tie() returns &cout. Its state is otherwise the same as required for basic_ios<char>::init ([basic.ios.cons]).
The object cout controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object stdout, declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
The object cerr controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object stderr, declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
After the object cerr is initialized, cerr.flags() & unitbuf is nonzero and cerr.tie() returns &cout. Its state is otherwise the same as required for basic_ios<char>::init ([basic.ios.cons]).
After the object wcin is initialized, wcin.tie() returns &wcout. Its state is otherwise the same as required for basic_ios<wchar_t>::init ([basic.ios.cons]).
The object wcout controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object stdout, declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
The object wcerr controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object stderr, declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
After the object wcerr is initialized, wcerr.flags() & unitbuf is nonzero and wcerr.tie() returns &wcout. Its state is otherwise the same as required for basic_ios<wchar_t>::init ([basic.ios.cons]).

typedef implementation-defined streamoff;
The type streamoff is a synonym for one of the signed basic integral types of sufficient size to represent the maximum possible file size for the operating system.297
typedef implementation-defined streamsize;
The type streamsize is a synonym for one of the signed basic integral types. It is used to represent the number of characters transferred in an I/O operation, or the size of I/O buffers.298
Typically long long.
streamsize is used in most places where ISO C would use size_t. Most of the uses of streamsize could use size_t, except for the strstreambuf constructors, which require negative values. It should probably be the signed type corresponding to size_t (which is what Posix.2 calls ssize_t).
namespace std { class ios_base { public: class failure; // [ios::fmtflags] fmtflags typedef T1 fmtflags; static constexpr fmtflags boolalpha = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags dec = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags fixed = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags hex = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags internal = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags left = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags oct = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags right = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags scientific = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags showbase = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags showpoint = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags showpos = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags skipws = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags unitbuf = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags uppercase = unspecified; static constexpr fmtflags adjustfield = see below; static constexpr fmtflags basefield = see below; static constexpr fmtflags floatfield = see below; // [ios::iostate] iostate typedef T2 iostate; static constexpr iostate badbit = unspecified; static constexpr iostate eofbit = unspecified; static constexpr iostate failbit = unspecified; static constexpr iostate goodbit = see below; // [ios::openmode] openmode typedef T3 openmode; static constexpr openmode app = unspecified; static constexpr openmode ate = unspecified; static constexpr openmode binary = unspecified; static constexpr openmode in = unspecified; static constexpr openmode out = unspecified; static constexpr openmode trunc = unspecified; // [ios::seekdir] seekdir typedef T4 seekdir; static constexpr seekdir beg = unspecified; static constexpr seekdir cur = unspecified; static constexpr seekdir end = unspecified; class Init; // [fmtflags.state] fmtflags state: fmtflags flags() const; fmtflags flags(fmtflags fmtfl); fmtflags setf(fmtflags fmtfl); fmtflags setf(fmtflags fmtfl, fmtflags mask); void unsetf(fmtflags mask); streamsize precision() const; streamsize precision(streamsize prec); streamsize width() const; streamsize width(streamsize wide); // [ios.base.locales] locales: locale imbue(const locale& loc); locale getloc() const; // [ios.base.storage] storage: static int xalloc(); long& iword(int index); void*& pword(int index); // destructor virtual ~ios_base(); // [ios.base.callback] callbacks; enum event { erase_event, imbue_event, copyfmt_event }; typedef void (*event_callback)(event, ios_base&, int index); void register_callback(event_callback fn, int index); ios_base(const ios_base&) = delete; ios_base& operator=(const ios_base&) = delete; static bool sync_with_stdio(bool sync = true); protected: ios_base(); private: static int index; // exposition only long* iarray; // exposition only void** parray; // exposition only }; }
ios_base defines several member types:
a class failure derived from system_error;
a class Init;
three bitmask types, fmtflags, iostate, and openmode;
an enumerated type, seekdir.
It maintains several kinds of data:
state information that reflects the integrity of the stream buffer;
control information that influences how to interpret (format) input sequences and how to generate (format) output sequences;
additional information that is stored by the program for its private use.
[ Note: For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:
static int index, specifies the next available unique index for the integer or pointer arrays maintained for the private use of the program, initialized to an unspecified value;
long* iarray, points to the first element of an arbitrary-length long array maintained for the private use of the program;
void** parray, points to the first element of an arbitrary-length pointer array maintained for the private use of the program. — end note ]
namespace std { class ios_base::failure : public system_error { public: explicit failure(const string& msg, const error_code& ec = io_errc::stream); explicit failure(const char* msg, const error_code& ec = io_errc::stream); }; }
The class failure defines the base class for the types of all objects thrown as exceptions, by functions in the iostreams library, to report errors detected during stream buffer operations.
When throwing ios_base::failure exceptions, implementations should provide values of ec that identify the specific reason for the failure. [ Note: Errors arising from the operating system would typically be reported as system_category() errors with an error value of the error number reported by the operating system. Errors arising from within the stream library would typically be reported as error_code(io_errc::stream, iostream_category()). — end note ]
explicit failure(const string& msg, const error_code& ec = io_errc::stream);
Effects: Constructs an object of class failure by constructing the base class with msg and ec.
explicit failure(const char* msg, const error_code& ec = io_errc::stream);
Effects: Constructs an object of class failure by constructing the base class with msg and ec.
The type fmtflags is a bitmask type ([bitmask.types]). Setting its elements has the effects indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.fmtflags.effects].

boolalpha | insert and extract bool type in alphabetic format |
dec | converts integer input or generates integer output in decimal base |

scientific | generates floating-point output in scientific notation |
showbase | generates a prefix indicating the numeric base of generated integer output |
showpoint | generates a decimal-point character unconditionally in generated floating-point output |
showpos | generates a + sign in non-negative generated numeric output |
skipws | skips leading whitespace before certain input operations |
unitbuf | flushes output after each output operation |
uppercase | replaces certain lowercase letters with their uppercase equivalents in generated output |
Type fmtflags also defines the constants indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.fmtflags.constants].
Constant | Allowable values |
adjustfield | left | right | internal |
basefield | dec | oct | hex |
floatfield | scientific | fixed |
The type iostate is a bitmask type ([bitmask.types]) that contains the elements indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.iostate.effects].
Element | Effect(s) if set |
badbit | indicates a loss of integrity in an input or output sequence (such as an irrecoverable read error from a file); |
eofbit | indicates that an input operation reached the end of an input sequence; |
failbit | indicates that an input operation failed to read the expected characters, or that an output operation failed to generate the desired characters. |
The type openmode is a bitmask type ([bitmask.types]). It contains the elements indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.openmode.effects].
Element | Effect(s) if set |
app | seek to end before each write |
ate | open and seek to end immediately after opening |
binary | perform input and output in binary mode (as opposed to text mode) |
in | open for input |

trunc | truncate an existing stream when opening |
The type seekdir is an enumerated type ([enumerated.types]) that contains the elements indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.seekdir.effects].
Element | Meaning |
beg | request a seek (for subsequent input or output) relative to the beginning of the stream |
cur | request a seek relative to the current position within the sequence |
end | request a seek relative to the current end of the sequence |
namespace std {
class ios_base::Init {
public:
Init();
~Init();
private:
static int init_cnt; // exposition only
};
}
The class Init describes an object whose construction ensures the construction of the eight objects declared in <iostream> ([iostream.objects]) that associate file stream buffers with the standard C streams provided for by the functions declared in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:
static int init_cnt, counts the number of constructor and destructor calls for class Init, initialized to zero.
Effects: Constructs an object of class Init. Constructs and initializes the objects cin, cout, cerr, clog, wcin, wcout, wcerr, and wclog if they have not already been constructed and initialized.
Returns: The format control information for both input and output.
fmtflags flags(fmtflags fmtfl);
Postcondition: fmtfl == flags().
Returns: The previous value of flags().
fmtflags setf(fmtflags fmtfl);
Effects: Sets fmtfl in flags().
Returns: The previous value of flags().
fmtflags setf(fmtflags fmtfl, fmtflags mask);
Effects: Clears mask in flags(), sets fmtfl & mask in flags().
Returns: The previous value of flags().
Effects: Clears mask in flags().
Returns: The precision to generate on certain output conversions.
streamsize precision(streamsize prec);
Postcondition: prec == precision().
Returns: The previous value of precision().
Returns: The minimum field width (number of characters) to generate on certain output conversions.
streamsize width(streamsize wide);
Postcondition: wide == width().
Returns: The previous value of width().
locale imbue(const locale& loc);
Effects: Calls each registered callback pair (fn,index) ([ios.base.callback]) as (*fn)(imbue_event,*this,index) at such a time that a call to ios_base::getloc() from within fn returns the new locale value loc.
Returns: The previous value of getloc().
Postcondition: loc == getloc().
Returns: If no locale has been imbued, a copy of the global C++ locale, locale(), in effect at the time of construction. Otherwise, returns the imbued locale, to be used to perform locale-dependent input and output operations.
bool sync_with_stdio(bool sync = true);
Returns: true if the previous state of the standard iostream objects ([iostream.objects]) was synchronized and otherwise returns false. The first time it is called, the function returns true.
When a standard iostream object str is synchronized with a standard stdio stream f, the effect of inserting a character c by
fputc(f, c);
is the same as the effect of
str.rdbuf()->sputc(c);
for any sequences of characters; the effect of extracting a character c by
c = fgetc(f);
is the same as the effect of
c = str.rdbuf()->sbumpc();
for any sequences of characters; and the effect of pushing back a character c by
ungetc(c, f);
is the same as the effect of
str.rdbuf()->sputbackc(c);
for any sequence of characters.299
This implies that operations on a standard iostream object can be mixed arbitrarily with operations on the corresponding stdio stream. In practical terms, synchronization usually means that a standard iostream object and a standard stdio object share a buffer.
Returns: index ++.
Remarks: Concurrent access to this function by multiple threads shall not result in a data race ([intro.multithread]).
Effects: If iarray is a null pointer, allocates an array of long of unspecified size and stores a pointer to its first element in iarray. The function then extends the array pointed at by iarray as necessary to include the element iarray[idx]. Each newly allocated element of the array is initialized to zero. The reference returned is invalid after any other operations on the object.300 However, the value of the storage referred to is retained, so that until the next call to copyfmt, calling iword with the same index yields another reference to the same value. If the function fails301 and *this is a base subobject of a basic_ios<> object or subobject, the effect is equivalent to calling basic_ios<>::setstate(badbit) on the derived object (which may throw failure).
Returns: On success iarray[idx]. On failure, a valid long& initialized to 0.
Effects: If parray is a null pointer, allocates an array of pointers to void of unspecified size and stores a pointer to its first element in parray. The function then extends the array pointed at by parray as necessary to include the element parray[idx]. Each newly allocated element of the array is initialized to a null pointer. The reference returned is invalid after any other operations on the object. However, the value of the storage referred to is retained, so that until the next call to copyfmt, calling pword with the same index yields another reference to the same value. If the function fails302 and *this is a base subobject of a basic_ios<> object or subobject, the effect is equivalent to calling basic_ios<>::setstate(badbit) on the derived object (which may throw failure).
Returns: On success parray[idx]. On failure a valid void*& initialized to 0.
Remarks: After a subsequent call to pword(int) for the same object, the earlier return value may no longer be valid.
An implementation is free to implement both the integer array pointed at by iarray and the pointer array pointed at by parray as sparse data structures, possibly with a one-element cache for each.
for example, because it cannot allocate space.
for example, because it cannot allocate space.
void register_callback(event_callback fn, int index);
Effects: Registers the pair (fn,index) such that during calls to imbue() ([ios.base.locales]), copyfmt(), or ~ios_base() ([ios.base.cons]), the function fn is called with argument index. Functions registered are called when an event occurs, in opposite order of registration. Functions registered while a callback function is active are not called until the next event.
Requires: The function fn shall not throw exceptions.
Remarks: Identical pairs are not merged. A function registered twice will be called twice.
Effects: Each ios_base member has an indeterminate value after construction. The object's members shall be initialized by calling basic_ios::init before the object's first use or before it is destroyed, whichever comes first; otherwise the behavior is undefined.
Effects: Destroys an object of class ios_base. Calls each registered callback pair (fn, index) ([ios.base.callback]) as (*fn)(erase_event, *this, index) at such time that any ios_base member function called from within fn has well defined results.

Returns: use_facet< ctype<char_type> >(getloc()).narrow(c,dfault)
char_type widen(char c) const;
Returns: use_facet< ctype<char_type> >(getloc()).widen(c)
Returns: The character used to pad (fill) an output conversion to the specified field width.
char_type fill(char_type fillch);
Postcondition: traits::eq(fillch, fill())
Returns: The previous value of fill().
basic_ios& copyfmt(const basic_ios& rhs);
Effects: If (this == &rhs) does nothing. Otherwise assigns to the member objects of *this the corresponding member objects of rhs as follows:
calls each registered callback pair (fn, index) as (*fn)(erase_event, *this, index);
assigns to the member objects of *this the corresponding member objects of rhs, except that
rdstate(), rdbuf(), and exceptions() are left unchanged;
the contents of arrays pointed at by pword and iword are copied, not the pointers themselves;303 and
if any newly stored pointer values in *this point at objects stored outside the object rhs and those objects are destroyed when rhs is destroyed, the newly stored pointer values are altered to point at newly constructed copies of the objects;
calls each callback pair that was copied from rhs as (*fn)(copyfmt_event, *this, index);
calls exceptions(rhs.except()).
Note: The second pass through the callback pairs permits a copied pword value to be zeroed, or to have its referent deep copied or reference counted, or to have other special action taken.
Postconditions: The postconditions of this function are indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.copyfmt.effects].
Element | Value |
rdbuf() | unchanged |
tie() | rhs.tie() |
rdstate() | unchanged |
exceptions() | rhs.exceptions() |
flags() | rhs.flags() |
width() | rhs.width() |
precision() | rhs.precision() |
fill() | rhs.fill() |
getloc() | rhs.getloc() |
Returns: *this.
void move(basic_ios& rhs);
void move(basic_ios&& rhs);
Postconditions: *this shall have the state that rhs had before the function call, except that rdbuf() shall return 0. rhs shall be in a valid but unspecified state, except that rhs.rdbuf() shall return the same value as it returned before the function call, and rhs.tie() shall return 0.
void swap(basic_ios& rhs) noexcept;
Effects: The states of *this and rhs shall be exchanged, except that rdbuf() shall return the same value as it returned before the function call, and rhs.rdbuf() shall return the same value as it returned before the function call.
void set_rdbuf(basic_streambuf<charT, traits>* sb);
Requires: sb != nullptr.
Effects: Associates the basic_streambuf object pointed to by sb with this stream without calling clear().
Postconditions: rdbuf() == sb.
Throws: Nothing.
This suggests an infinite amount of copying, but the implementation can keep track of the maximum element of the arrays that is non-zero.
explicit operator bool() const;
Returns: !fail().
Returns: fail().
Returns: The error state of the stream buffer.
void clear(iostate state = goodbit);
Postcondition: If rdbuf()!=0 then state == rdstate(); otherwise rdstate()==(state | ios_base::badbit).
Effects: If ((state | (rdbuf() ? goodbit : badbit)) & exceptions()) == 0, returns. Otherwise, the function throws an object fail of class basic_ios::failure ([ios::failure]), constructed with implementation-defined argument values.
Effects: Calls clear(rdstate() | state) (which may throw basic_ios::failure ([ios::failure])).
Returns: rdstate() == 0
Returns: true if eofbit is set in rdstate().
Returns: true if badbit is set in rdstate().
Returns: A mask that determines what elements set in rdstate() cause exceptions to be thrown.
void exceptions(iostate except);
Postcondition: except == exceptions().
Effects: Calls clear(rdstate()).
Checking badbit also for fail() is historical practice.

Returns: str.
ios_base& left(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::left, ios_base::adjustfield).
Returns: str.
ios_base& right(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::right, ios_base::adjustfield).
Returns: str.
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::dec, ios_base::basefield).
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::hex, ios_base::basefield).
Returns: str.
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::oct, ios_base::basefield).
Returns: str.
The function signature dec(ios_base&) can be called by the function signature basic_ostream& stream::operator<<(ios_base& (*)(ios_base&)) to permit expressions of the form cout << dec to change the format flags stored in cout.
ios_base& fixed(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::fixed, ios_base::floatfield).
Returns: str.
ios_base& scientific(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::scientific, ios_base::floatfield).
Returns: str.
ios_base& hexfloat(ios_base& str);
Effects: Calls str.setf(ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific, ios_base::floatfield).
Returns: str.
[ Note: The more obvious use of ios_base::hex to specify hexadecimal floating-point format would change the meaning of existing well defined programs. C++2003 gives no meaning to the combination of fixed and scientific. — end note ]
Effects: Calls str.unsetf(ios_base::floatfield).
Returns: str.
error_code make_error_code(io_errc e) noexcept;
Returns: error_code(static_cast<int>(e), iostream_category()).
error_condition make_error_condition(io_errc e) noexcept;
Returns: error_condition(static_cast<int>(e), iostream_category()).
const error_category& iostream_category() noexcept;
Returns: A reference to an object of a type derived from class error_category.
The object's default_error_condition and equivalent virtual functions shall behave as specified for the class error_category. The object's name virtual function shall return a pointer to the string "iostream".
namespace std { template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_streambuf; typedef basic_streambuf<char> streambuf; typedef basic_streambuf<wchar_t> wstreambuf; }
The header <streambuf> defines types that control input from and output to character sequences.
Stream buffers can impose various constraints on the sequences they control. Some constraints are:
The controlled input sequence can be not readable.
The controlled output sequence can be not writable.
The controlled sequences can be associated with the contents of other representations for character sequences, such as external files.
The controlled sequences can support operations directly to or from associated sequences.
The controlled sequences can impose limitations on how the program can read characters from a sequence, write characters to a sequence, put characters back into an input sequence, or alter the stream position.
Each sequence is characterized by three pointers which, if non-null, all point into the same charT array object. The array object represents, at any moment, a (sub)sequence of characters from the sequence. Operations performed on a sequence alter the values stored in these pointers, perform reads and writes directly to or from associated sequences, and alter “the stream position” and conversion state as needed to maintain this subsequence relationship. The three pointers are:
the beginning pointer, or lowest element address in the array (called xbeg here);
the next pointer, or next element address that is a current candidate for reading or writing (called xnext here);
the end pointer, or first element address beyond the end of the array (called xend here).
The following semantic constraints shall always apply for any set of three pointers for a sequence, using the pointer names given immediately above:
If xnext is not a null pointer, then xbeg and xend shall also be non-null pointers into the same charT array, as described above; otherwise, xbeg and xend shall also be null.
If xnext is not a null pointer and xnext < xend for an output sequence, then a write position is available. In this case, *xnext shall be assignable as the next element to write (to put, or to store a character value, into the sequence).
If xnext is not a null pointer and xbeg < xnext for an input sequence, then a putback position is available. In this case, xnext[-1] shall have a defined value and is the next (preceding) element to store a character that is put back into the input sequence.
If xnext is not a null pointer and xnext < xend for an input sequence, then a read position is available. In this case, *xnext shall have a defined value and is the next element to read (to get, or to obtain a character value, from the sequence).

The class template basic_streambuf<charT,traits> serves as an abstract base class for deriving various stream buffers whose objects each control two character sequences:
a character input sequence;
a character output sequence.
Remarks: Once the getloc() member is initialized, results of calling locale member functions, and of members of facets so obtained, can safely be cached until the next time the member imbue is called.
basic_streambuf(const basic_streambuf& rhs);
Effects: Constructs a copy of rhs.
Effects: None.
The default constructor is protected for class basic_streambuf to assure that only objects for classes derived from this class may be constructed.
locale pubimbue(const locale& loc);
Postcondition: loc == getloc().
Effects: Calls imbue(loc).
Returns: Previous value of getloc().
Returns: If pubimbue() has ever been called, then the last value of loc supplied, otherwise the current global locale, locale(), in effect at the time of construction. If called after pubimbue() has been called but before pubimbue has returned (i.e., from within the call of imbue()) then it returns the previous value.
basic_streambuf<char_type,traits>* pubsetbuf(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Returns: setbuf(s, n).
pos_type pubseekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Returns: seekoff(off, way, which).
pos_type pubseekpos(pos_type sp,
ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Returns: seekpos(sp, which).
Returns: sync().
Returns: If a read position is available, returns egptr() - gptr(). Otherwise returns showmanyc() ([streambuf.virt.get]).
Effects: Calls sbumpc().
Returns: If that function returns traits::eof(), returns traits::eof(). Otherwise, returns sgetc().
Returns: If the input sequence read position is not available, returns uflow(). Otherwise, returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()) and increments the next pointer for the input sequence.
Returns: If the input sequence read position is not available, returns underflow(). Otherwise, returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()).
streamsize sgetn(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Returns: xsgetn(s, n).
int_type sputbackc(char_type c);
Returns: If the input sequence putback position is not available, or if traits::eq(c,gptr()[-1]) is false, returns pbackfail(traits::to_int_type(c)). Otherwise, decrements the next pointer for the input sequence and returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()).
Returns: If the input sequence putback position is not available, returns pbackfail(). Otherwise, decrements the next pointer for the input sequence and returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()).
Returns: If the output sequence write position is not available, returns overflow(traits::to_int_type(c)). Otherwise, stores c at the next pointer for the output sequence, increments the pointer, and returns traits::to_int_type(c).
streamsize sputn(const char_type* s, streamsize n);
Returns: xsputn(s,n).
basic_streambuf& operator=(const basic_streambuf& rhs);
Effects: Assigns the data members of rhs to *this.
Returns: *this.
void swap(basic_streambuf& rhs);
Effects: Swaps the data members of rhs and *this.
Returns: The beginning pointer for the input sequence.
Returns: The next pointer for the input sequence.
Returns: The end pointer for the input sequence.
Effects: Adds n to the next pointer for the input sequence.
void setg(char_type* gbeg, char_type* gnext, char_type* gend);
Postconditions: gbeg == eback(), gnext == gptr(), and gend == egptr().
Returns: The beginning pointer for the output sequence.
Returns: The next pointer for the output sequence.
Returns: The end pointer for the output sequence.
Effects: Adds n to the next pointer for the output sequence.
void setp(char_type* pbeg, char_type* pend);
Postconditions: pbeg == pbase(), pbeg == pptr(), and pend == epptr().
Effects: Change any translations based on locale.
Remarks: Allows the derived class to be informed of changes in locale at the time they occur. Between invocations of this function a class derived from streambuf can safely cache results of calls to locale functions and to members of facets so obtained.
Default behavior: Does nothing.
basic_streambuf* setbuf(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Influences stream buffering in a way that is defined separately for each class derived from basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf.virtuals], [filebuf.virtuals]).
Default behavior: Does nothing. Returns this.
pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
ios_base::openmode which
= ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Alters the stream positions within one or more of the controlled sequences in a way that is defined separately for each class derived from basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf.virtuals], [filebuf.virtuals]).
Default behavior: Returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).
pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp,
ios_base::openmode which
= ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Alters the stream positions within one or more of the controlled sequences in a way that is defined separately for each class derived from basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf], [filebuf]).
Default behavior: Returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).
Effects: Synchronizes the controlled sequences with the arrays. That is, if pbase() is non-null the characters between pbase() and pptr() are written to the controlled sequence. The pointers may then be reset as appropriate.
Returns: -1 on failure. What constitutes failure is determined by each derived class ([filebuf.virtuals]).
Default behavior: Returns zero.
streamsize showmanyc();307
Returns: An estimate of the number of characters available in the sequence, or -1. If it returns a positive value, then successive calls to underflow() will not return traits::eof() until at least that number of characters have been extracted from the stream. If showmanyc() returns -1, then calls to underflow() or uflow() will fail.308
Default behavior: Returns zero.
Remarks: Uses traits::eof().
streamsize xsgetn(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Assigns up to n characters to successive elements of the array whose first element is designated by s. The characters assigned are read from the input sequence as if by repeated calls to sbumpc(). Assigning stops when either n characters have been assigned or a call to sbumpc() would return traits::eof().
Remarks: Uses traits::eof().
Remarks: The public members of basic_streambuf call this virtual function only if gptr() is null or gptr() >= egptr()
Returns: traits::to_int_type(c), where c is the first character of the pending sequence, without moving the input sequence position past it. If the pending sequence is null then the function returns traits::eof() to indicate failure.
The pending sequence of characters is defined as the concatenation of:
If gptr() is non-null, then the egptr() - gptr() characters starting at gptr(), otherwise the empty sequence.
Some sequence (possibly empty) of characters read from the input sequence.
The result character is
If the pending sequence is non-empty, the first character of the sequence.
If the pending sequence is empty then the next character that would be read from the input sequence.
The backup sequence is defined as the concatenation of:
If eback() is null then empty,
Otherwise the gptr() - eback() characters beginning at eback().
Effects: The function sets up the gptr() and egptr() satisfying one of:
If the pending sequence is non-empty, egptr() is non-null and egptr() - gptr() characters starting at gptr() are the characters in the pending sequence
If the pending sequence is empty, either gptr() is null or gptr() and egptr() are set to the same non-null pointer value.
If eback() and gptr() are non-null then the function is not constrained as to their contents, but the “usual backup condition” is that either:
If the backup sequence contains at least gptr() - eback() characters, then the gptr() - eback() characters starting at eback() agree with the last gptr() - eback() characters of the backup sequence.
Or the n characters starting at gptr() - n agree with the backup sequence (where n is the length of the backup sequence)
Default behavior: Returns traits::eof().
Requires: The constraints are the same as for underflow(), except that the result character shall be transferred from the pending sequence to the backup sequence, and the pending sequence shall not be empty before the transfer.
Default behavior: Calls underflow(). If underflow() returns traits::eof(), returns traits::eof(). Otherwise, returns the value of traits::to_int_type(*gptr()) and increment the value of the next pointer for the input sequence.
Returns: traits::eof() to indicate failure.
The morphemes of showmanyc are “es-how-many-see”, not “show-manic”.
underflow or uflow might fail by throwing an exception prematurely. The intention is not only that the calls will not return eof() but that they will return “immediately.”
Classes derived from basic_streambuf can provide more efficient ways to implement xsgetn() and xsputn() by overriding these definitions from the base class.
int_type pbackfail(int_type c = traits::eof());
Remarks: The public functions of basic_streambuf call this virtual function only when gptr() is null, gptr() == eback(), or traits::eq(traits::to_char_type(c),gptr()[-1]) returns false. Other calls shall also satisfy that constraint.
The pending sequence is defined as for underflow(), with the modifications that
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true, then the input sequence is backed up one character before the pending sequence is determined.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false, then c is prepended. Whether the input sequence is backed up or modified in any other way is unspecified.
Postcondition: On return, the constraints of gptr(), eback(), and pptr() are the same as for underflow().
Returns: traits::eof() to indicate failure. Failure may occur because the input sequence could not be backed up, or if for some other reason the pointers could not be set consistent with the constraints. pbackfail() is called only when put back has really failed.
Returns some value other than traits::eof() to indicate success.
Default behavior: Returns traits::eof().
streamsize xsputn(const char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Writes up to n characters to the output sequence as if by repeated calls to sputc(c). The characters written are obtained from successive elements of the array whose first element is designated by s. Writing stops when either n characters have been written or a call to sputc(c) would return traits::eof(). Is is unspecified whether the function calls overflow() when pptr() == epptr() becomes true or whether it achieves the same effects by other means.
Returns: The number of characters written.
int_type overflow(int_type c = traits::eof());
Effects: Consumes some initial subsequence of the characters of the pending sequence. The pending sequence is defined as the concatenation of
if pbase() is null then the empty sequence otherwise, pptr() - pbase() characters beginning at pbase().
if traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true, then the empty sequence otherwise, the sequence consisting of c.
Remarks: The member functions sputc() and sputn() call this function in case that no room can be found in the put buffer enough to accommodate the argument character sequence.
Requires: Every overriding definition of this virtual function shall obey the following constraints:
The effect of consuming a character on the associated output sequence is specified310
Let r be the number of characters in the pending sequence not consumed. If r is non-zero then pbase() and pptr() shall be set so that: pptr() - pbase() == r and the r characters starting at pbase() are the associated output stream. In case r is zero (all characters of the pending sequence have been consumed) then either pbase() is set to nullptr, or pbase() and pptr() are both set to the same non-null value.
The function may fail if either appending some character to the associated output stream fails or if it is unable to establish pbase() and pptr() according to the above rules.
Returns: traits::eof() or throws an exception if the function fails.
Otherwise, returns some value other than traits::eof() to indicate success.311
Default behavior: Returns traits::eof().
That is, for each class derived from an instance of basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf], [filebuf]), a specification of how consuming a character effects the associated output sequence is given. There is no requirement on a program-defined class.
Typically, overflow returns c to indicate success, except when traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true, in which case it returns traits::not_eof(c).

The class basic_istream defines a number of member function signatures that assist in reading and interpreting input from sequences controlled by a stream buffer.
Two groups of member function signatures share common properties: the formatted input functions (or extractors) and the unformatted input functions. Both groups of input functions are described as if they obtain (or extract) input characters by calling rdbuf()->sbumpc() or rdbuf()->sgetc(). They may use other public members of istream.
If rdbuf()->sbumpc() or rdbuf()->sgetc() returns traits::eof(), then the input function, except as explicitly noted otherwise, completes its actions and does setstate(eofbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]), before returning.
If one of these called functions throws an exception, then unless explicitly noted otherwise, the input function sets badbit in error state. If badbit is on in exceptions(), the input function rethrows the exception without completing its actions, otherwise it does not throw anything and proceeds as if the called function had returned a failure indication.
explicit basic_istream(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_istream, assigning initial values to the base class by calling basic_ios::init(sb) ([basic.ios.cons]).
Postcondition: gcount() == 0
basic_istream(basic_istream&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. This is accomplished by default constructing the base class, copying the gcount() from rhs, calling basic_ios<charT, traits>::move(rhs) to initialize the base class, and setting the gcount() for rhs to 0.
Effects: Destroys an object of class basic_istream.
Remarks: Does not perform any operations of rdbuf().
basic_istream& operator=(basic_istream&& rhs);
Effects: swap(rhs);.
Returns: *this.
void swap(basic_istream& rhs);
Effects: Calls basic_ios<charT, traits>::swap(rhs). Exchanges the values returned by gcount() and rhs.gcount().
namespace std {
template <class charT,class traits = char_traits<charT> >
class basic_istream<charT,traits>::sentry {
typedef traits traits_type;
bool ok_; // exposition only
public:
explicit sentry(basic_istream<charT,traits>& is, bool noskipws = false);
~sentry();
explicit operator bool() const { return ok_; }
sentry(const sentry&) = delete;
sentry& operator=(const sentry&) = delete;
};
}
The class sentry defines a class that is responsible for doing exception safe prefix and suffix operations.
explicit sentry(basic_istream<charT,traits>& is, bool noskipws = false);
Effects: If is.good() is false, calls is.setstate(failbit). Otherwise, prepares for formatted or unformatted input. First, if is.tie() is not a null pointer, the function calls is.tie()->flush() to synchronize the output sequence with any associated external C stream. Except that this call can be suppressed if the put area of is.tie() is empty. Further an implementation is allowed to defer the call to flush until a call of is.rdbuf()->underflow() occurs. If no such call occurs before the sentry object is destroyed, the call to flush may be eliminated entirely.312 If noskipws is zero and is.flags() & ios_base::skipws is nonzero, the function extracts and discards each character as long as the next available input character c is a whitespace character. If is.rdbuf()->sbumpc() or is.rdbuf()->sgetc() returns traits::eof(), the function calls setstate(failbit | eofbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Remarks: The constructor explicit sentry(basic_istream<charT,traits>& is, bool noskipws = false) uses the currently imbued locale in is, to determine whether the next input character is whitespace or not.
To decide if the character c is a whitespace character, the constructor performs as if it executes the following code fragment:
const ctype<charT>& ctype = use_facet<ctype<charT> >(is.getloc());
if (ctype.is(ctype.space,c)!=0)
// c is a whitespace character.
If, after any preparation is completed, is.good() is true, ok_ != false otherwise, ok_ == false. During preparation, the constructor may call setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]))313
Effects: None.
explicit operator bool() const;
Effects: Returns ok_.
This will be possible only in functions that are part of the library. The semantics of the constructor used in user code is as specified.
Each formatted input function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry with the noskipws (second) argument false. If the sentry object returns true, when converted to a value of type bool, the function endeavors to obtain the requested input. If an exception is thrown during input then ios::badbit is turned on314 in *this's error state. If (exceptions()&badbit) != 0 then the exception is rethrown. In any case, the formatted input function destroys the sentry object. If no exception has been thrown, it returns *this.
This is done without causing an ios::failure to be thrown.
operator>>(unsigned short& val);
operator>>(unsigned int& val);

operator>>(long long& val);
operator>>(unsigned long long& val);
operator>>(float& val);
operator>>(double& val);
operator>>(long double& val);
operator>>(bool& val);
operator>>(void*& val);
As in the case of the inserters, these extractors depend on the locale's num_get<> ([locale.num.get]) object to perform parsing the input stream data. These extractors behave as formatted input functions (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts]). After a sentry object is constructed, the conversion occurs as if performed by the following code fragment:
typedef num_get< charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = iostate::goodbit; use_facet< numget >(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, val); setstate(err);
In the above fragment, loc stands for the private member of the basic_ios class. [ Note: The first argument provides an object of the istreambuf_iterator class which is an iterator pointed to an input stream. It bypasses istreams and uses streambufs directly. — end note ] Class locale relies on this type as its interface to istream, so that it does not need to depend directly on istream.
The conversion occurs as if performed by the following code fragment (using the same notation as for the preceding code fragment):
typedef num_get<charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = ios_base::goodbit; long lval; use_facet<numget>(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, lval); if (lval < numeric_limits<short>::min()) { err |= ios_base::failbit; val = numeric_limits<short>::min(); } else if (numeric_limits<short>::max() < lval) { err |= ios_base::failbit; val = numeric_limits<short>::max(); } else val = static_cast<short>(lval); setstate(err);
The conversion occurs as if performed by the following code fragment (using the same notation as for the preceding code fragment):
typedef num_get<charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = ios_base::goodbit; long lval; use_facet<numget>(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, lval); if (lval < numeric_limits<int>::min()) { err |= ios_base::failbit; val = numeric_limits<int>::min(); } else if (numeric_limits<int>::max() < lval) { err |= ios_base::failbit; val = numeric_limits<int>::max(); } else val = static_cast<int>(lval); setstate(err);
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>
(basic_istream<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_istream<charT,traits>&));
Effects: None. This extractor does not behave as a formatted input function (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts].)
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>
(basic_ios<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_ios<charT,traits>&));
Effects: Calls pf(*this). This extractor does not behave as a formatted input function (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts]).
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>
(ios_base& (*pf)(ios_base&));
Effects: Calls pf(*this).316 This extractor does not behave as a formatted input function (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts]).
Returns: *this.
template<class charT, class traits>
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<charT,traits>& in,
charT* s);
template<class traits>
basic_istream<char,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<char,traits>& in,
unsigned char* s);
template<class traits>
basic_istream<char,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<char,traits>& in,
signed char* s);
Effects: Behaves like a formatted input member (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts]) of in. After a sentry object is constructed, operator>> extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s. If width() is greater than zero, n is width(). Otherwise n is the number of elements of the largest array of char_type that can store a terminating charT(). n is the maximum number of characters stored.
operator>> then stores a null byte (charT()) in the next position, which may be the first position if no characters were extracted. operator>> then calls width(0).
If the function extracted no characters, it calls setstate(failbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]).
Returns: in.
template<class charT, class traits>
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<charT,traits>& in,
charT& c);
template<class traits>
basic_istream<char,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<char,traits>& in,
unsigned char& c);
template<class traits>
basic_istream<char,traits>& operator>>(basic_istream<char,traits>& in,
signed char& c);
Effects: Behaves like a formatted input member (as described in [istream.formatted.reqmts]) of in. After a sentry object is constructed a character is extracted from in, if one is available, and stored in c. Otherwise, the function calls in.setstate(failbit).
Returns: in.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& operator>>
(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). If sb is null, calls setstate(failbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]). After a sentry object is constructed, extracts characters from *this and inserts them in the output sequence controlled by sb. Characters are extracted and inserted until any of the following occurs:
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;
inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);
an exception occurs (in which case the exception is caught).
If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]). If it inserted no characters because it caught an exception thrown while extracting characters from *this and failbit is on in exceptions() ([iostate.flags]), then the caught exception is rethrown.
Returns: *this.
See, for example, the function signature ws(basic_istream&) ([istream.manip]).
See, for example, the function signature dec(ios_base&) ([basefield.manip]).
Each unformatted input function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry with the default argument noskipws (second) argument true. If the sentry object returns true, when converted to a value of type bool, the function endeavors to obtain the requested input. Otherwise, if the sentry constructor exits by throwing an exception or if the sentry object returns false, when converted to a value of type bool, the function returns without attempting to obtain any input. In either case the number of extracted characters is set to 0; unformatted input functions taking a character array of non-zero size as an argument shall also store a null character (using charT()) in the first location of the array. If an exception is thrown during input then ios::badbit is turned on317 in *this's error state. (Exceptions thrown from basic_ios<>::clear() are not caught or rethrown.) If (exceptions()&badbit) != 0 then the exception is rethrown. It also counts the number of characters extracted. If no exception has been thrown it ends by storing the count in a member object and returning the value specified. In any event the sentry object is destroyed before leaving the unformatted input function.
Effects: None. This member function does not behave as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1).
Returns: The number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input member function called for the object.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts a character c, if one is available. Otherwise, the function calls setstate(failbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]),
Returns: c if available, otherwise traits::eof().
basic_istream<charT,traits>& get(char_type& c);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts a character, if one is available, and assigns it to c.318 Otherwise, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& get(char_type* s, streamsize n,
char_type delim );
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s.319 Characters are extracted and stored until any of the following occurs:
n is less than one or n - 1 characters are stored;
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence (in which case the function calls setstate(eofbit));
traits::eq(c, delim) for the next available input character c (in which case c is not extracted).
If the function stores no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). In any case, if n is greater than zero it then stores a null character into the next successive location of the array.
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& get(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Calls get(s,n,widen('\n'))
Returns: Value returned by the call.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& get(basic_streambuf<char_type,traits>& sb,
char_type delim );
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts characters and inserts them in the output sequence controlled by sb. Characters are extracted and inserted until any of the following occurs:
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;
inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);
traits::eq(c, delim) for the next available input character c (in which case c is not extracted);
an exception occurs (in which case, the exception is caught but not rethrown).
If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]).
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& get(basic_streambuf<char_type,traits>& sb);
Effects: Calls get(sb, widen('\n'))
Returns: Value returned by the call.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& getline(char_type* s, streamsize n,
char_type delim);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s.320 Characters are extracted and stored until one of the following occurs:
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence (in which case the function calls setstate(eofbit));
traits::eq(c, delim) for the next available input character c (in which case the input character is extracted but not stored);321
n is less than one or n - 1 characters are stored (in which case the function calls setstate(failbit)).
If the function extracts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).323
In any case, if n is greater than zero, it then stores a null character (using charT()) into the next successive location of the array.
Returns: *this.
[ Example:
#include <iostream> int main() { using namespace std; const int line_buffer_size = 100; char buffer[line_buffer_size]; int line_number = 0; while (cin.getline(buffer, line_buffer_size, '\n') || cin.gcount()) { int count = cin.gcount(); if (cin.eof()) cout << "Partial final line"; // cin.fail() is false else if (cin.fail()) { cout << "Partial long line"; cin.clear(cin.rdstate() & ~ios_base::failbit); } else { count--; // Don't include newline in count cout << "Line " << ++line_number; } cout << " (" << count << " chars): " << buffer << endl; } }
— end example ]
basic_istream<charT,traits>& getline(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Returns: getline(s,n,widen('\n'))
basic_istream<charT,traits>&
ignore(streamsize n = 1, int_type delim = traits::eof());
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, extracts characters and discards them. Characters are extracted until any of the following occurs:
n != numeric_limits<streamsize>::max() ([limits]) and n characters have been extracted so far
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence (in which case the function calls setstate(eofbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]));
traits::eq_int_type(traits::to_int_type(c), delim) for the next available input character c (in which case c is extracted).
Remarks: The last condition will never occur if traits::eq_int_type(delim, traits::eof()).
Returns: *this.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, reads but does not extract the current input character.
Returns: traits::eof() if good() is false. Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->sgetc().
basic_istream<charT,traits>& read(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, if !good() calls setstate(failbit) which may throw an exception, and return. Otherwise extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s.324 Characters are extracted and stored until either of the following occurs:
n characters are stored;
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence (in which case the function calls setstate(failbit | eofbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).
Returns: *this.
streamsize readsome(char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, if !good() calls setstate(failbit) which may throw an exception, and return. Otherwise extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s. If rdbuf()->in_avail() == -1, calls setstate(eofbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])), and extracts no characters;
If rdbuf()->in_avail() == 0, extracts no characters
If rdbuf()->in_avail() > 0, extracts min(rdbuf()->in_avail(),n)).
Returns: The number of characters extracted.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& putback(char_type c);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that the function first clears eofbit. After constructing a sentry object, if !good() calls setstate(failbit) which may throw an exception, and return. If rdbuf() is not null, calls rdbuf->sputbackc(). If rdbuf() is null, or if sputbackc() returns traits::eof(), calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). [ Note: This function extracts no characters, so the value returned by the next call to gcount() is 0. — end note ]
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& unget();
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that the function first clears eofbit. After constructing a sentry object, if !good() calls setstate(failbit) which may throw an exception, and return. If rdbuf() is not null, calls rdbuf()->sungetc(). If rdbuf() is null, or if sungetc() returns traits::eof(), calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). [ Note: This function extracts no characters, so the value returned by the next call to gcount() is 0. — end note ]
Returns: *this.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if rdbuf() is a null pointer, returns -1 . Otherwise, calls rdbuf()->pubsync() and, if that function returns -1 calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]), and returns -1. Otherwise, returns zero.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to gcount().
Returns: After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != false, returns pos_type(-1) to indicate failure. Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0, cur, in).
basic_istream<charT,traits>& seekg(pos_type pos);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that the function first clears eofbit, it does not count the number of characters extracted, and it does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos, ios_base::in). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Returns: *this.
basic_istream<charT,traits>& seekg(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir dir);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to gcount(). After constructing a sentry object, if fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekoff(off, dir, ios_base::in). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Returns: *this.
This is done without causing an ios::failure to be thrown.
Note that this function is not overloaded on types signed char and unsigned char.
Note that this function is not overloaded on types signed char and unsigned char.
Note that this function is not overloaded on types signed char and unsigned char.
Since the final input character is “extracted,” it is counted in the gcount(), even though it is not stored.
This allows an input line which exactly fills the buffer, without setting failbit. This is different behavior than the historical AT&T implementation.
This implies an empty input line will not cause failbit to be set.
Note that this function is not overloaded on types signed char and unsigned char.
namespace std {
template <class charT, class traits>
basic_istream<charT,traits>& ws(basic_istream<charT,traits>& is);
}
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted input function (as described in [istream.unformatted], paragraph 1), except that it does not count the number of characters extracted and does not affect the value returned by subsequent calls to is.gcount(). After constructing a sentry object extracts characters as long as the next available character c is whitespace or until there are no more characters in the sequence. Whitespace characters are distinguished with the same criterion as used by sentry::sentry ([istream::sentry]). If ws stops extracting characters because there are no more available it sets eofbit, but not failbit.

The class basic_ostream defines a number of member function signatures that assist in formatting and writing output to output sequences controlled by a stream buffer.
Two groups of member function signatures share common properties: the formatted output functions (or inserters) and the unformatted output functions. Both groups of output functions generate (or insert) output characters by actions equivalent to calling rdbuf()->sputc(int_type). They may use other public members of basic_ostream except that they shall not invoke any virtual members of rdbuf() except overflow(), xsputn(), and sync().
If one of these called functions throws an exception, then unless explicitly noted otherwise the output function sets badbit in error state. If badbit is on in exceptions(), the output function rethrows the exception without completing its actions, otherwise it does not throw anything and treat as an error.
explicit basic_ostream(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_ostream, assigning initial values to the base class by calling basic_ios<charT,traits>::init(sb) ([basic.ios.cons]).
Effects: Destroys an object of class basic_ostream.
Remarks: Does not perform any operations on rdbuf().
basic_ostream(basic_ostream&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. This is accomplished by default constructing the base class and calling basic_ios<charT, traits>::move(rhs) to initialize the base class.
basic_ostream& operator=(basic_ostream&& rhs);
Effects: swap(rhs).
Returns: *this.
void swap(basic_ostream& rhs);
Effects: Calls basic_ios<charT, traits>::swap(rhs).
namespace std {
template <class charT,class traits = char_traits<charT> >
class basic_ostream<charT,traits>::sentry {
bool ok_; // exposition only
public:
explicit sentry(basic_ostream<charT,traits>& os);
~sentry();
explicit operator bool() const { return ok_; }
sentry(const sentry&) = delete;
sentry& operator=(const sentry&) = delete;
};
}
The class sentry defines a class that is responsible for doing exception safe prefix and suffix operations.
If os.good() is nonzero, prepares for formatted or unformatted output. If os.tie() is not a null pointer, calls os.tie()->flush().325
If, after any preparation is completed, os.good() is true, ok_ == true otherwise, ok_ == false. During preparation, the constructor may call setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]))326
If ((os.flags() & ios_base::unitbuf) && !uncaught_exception() && os.good()) is true, calls os.rdbuf()->pubsync(). If that function returns -1, sets badbit in os.rdstate() without propagating an exception.
explicit operator bool() const;
Effects: Returns ok_.
The call os.tie()->flush() does not necessarily occur if the function can determine that no synchronization is necessary.
The sentry constructor and destructor can also perform additional implementation-dependent operations.
Each seek member function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry. It returns by destroying the sentry object.
Returns:
If
fail() != false,
returns
pos_type(-1)
to indicate failure.
Otherwise, returns
rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0, cur, out).
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& seekp(pos_type pos);
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos, ios_base::out). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Returns: *this.
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& seekp(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir dir);
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekoff(off, dir, ios_base::out). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Returns: *this.
Each formatted output function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry. If this object returns true when converted to a value of type bool, the function endeavors to generate the requested output. If the generation fails, then the formatted output function does setstate(ios_base::failbit), which might throw an exception. If an exception is thrown during output, then ios::badbit is turned on327 in *this's error state. If (exceptions()&badbit) != 0 then the exception is rethrown. Whether or not an exception is thrown, the sentry object is destroyed before leaving the formatted output function. If no exception is thrown, the result of the formatted output function is *this.
The descriptions of the individual formatted output functions describe how they perform output and do not mention the sentry object.
If a formatted output function of a stream os determines padding, it does so as follows. Given a charT character sequence seq where charT is the character type of the stream, if the length of seq is less than os.width(), then enough copies of os.fill() are added to this sequence as necessary to pad to a width of os.width() characters. If (os.flags() & ios_base::adjustfield) == ios_base::left is true, the fill characters are placed after the character sequence; otherwise, they are placed before the character sequence.
without causing an ios::failure to be thrown.
operator<<(bool val);
operator<<(short val);
operator<<(unsigned short val);

operator<<(long val);
operator<<(unsigned long val);
operator<<(long long val);
operator<<(unsigned long long val);
operator<<(float val);
operator<<(double val);
operator<<(long double val);
operator<<(const void* val);
Effects: The classes num_get<> and num_put<> handle locale-dependent numeric formatting and parsing. These inserter functions use the imbued locale value to perform numeric formatting. When val is of type bool, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, double, long double, or const void*, the formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the following code fragment:
bool failed = use_facet< num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > >(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), val).failed();
When val is of type short the formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the following code fragment:
ios_base::fmtflags baseflags = ios_base::flags() & ios_base::basefield; bool failed = use_facet< num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > >(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), baseflags == ios_base::oct || baseflags == ios_base::hex ? static_cast<long>(static_cast<unsigned short>(val)) : static_cast<long>(val)).failed();
When val is of type int the formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the following code fragment:
ios_base::fmtflags baseflags = ios_base::flags() & ios_base::basefield; bool failed = use_facet< num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > >(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), baseflags == ios_base::oct || baseflags == ios_base::hex ? static_cast<long>(static_cast<unsigned int>(val)) : static_cast<long>(val)).failed();
When val is of type unsigned short or unsigned int the formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the following code fragment:
bool failed = use_facet< num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > >(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), static_cast<unsigned long>(val)).failed();
When val is of type float the formatting conversion occurs as if it performed the following code fragment:
bool failed = use_facet< num_put<charT,ostreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > >(getloc()).put(*this, *this, fill(), static_cast<double>(val)).failed();
The first argument provides an object of the ostreambuf_iterator<> class which is an iterator for class basic_ostream<>. It bypasses ostreams and uses streambufs directly. Class locale relies on these types as its interface to iostreams, since for flexibility it has been abstracted away from direct dependence on ostream. The second parameter is a reference to the base subobject of type ios_base. It provides formatting specifications such as field width, and a locale from which to obtain other facets. If failed is true then does setstate(badbit), which may throw an exception, and returns.
Returns: *this.
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<<
(basic_ostream<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_ostream<charT,traits>&));
Effects: None. Does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<<
(basic_ios<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_ios<charT,traits>&));
Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<<
(ios_base& (*pf)(ios_base&));
Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).
Returns: *this.
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<<
(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function (as described in [ostream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After the sentry object is constructed, if sb is null calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
Gets characters from sb and inserts them in *this. Characters are read from sb and inserted until any of the following occurs:
end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;
inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);
an exception occurs while getting a character from sb.
If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). If an exception was thrown while extracting a character, the function sets failbit in error state, and if failbit is on in exceptions() the caught exception is rethrown.
Returns: *this.

template<class traits>
basic_ostream<char,traits>& operator<<(basic_ostream<char,traits>& out,
unsigned char c);
Effects: Behaves as a formatted output function ( [ostream.formatted.reqmts]) of out. Constructs a character sequence seq. If c has type char and the character type of the stream is not char, then seq consists of out.widen(c); otherwise seq consists of c. Determines padding for seq as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]. Inserts seq into out. Calls os.width(0).
Returns: out.

template<class traits>
basic_ostream<char,traits>& operator<<(basic_ostream<char,traits>& out,
const unsigned char* s);
Requires: s shall not be a null pointer.
Effects: Behaves like a formatted inserter (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]) of out. Creates a character sequence seq of n characters starting at s, each widened using out.widen() ([basic.ios.members]), where n is the number that would be computed as if by:
traits::length(s) for the overload where the first argument is of type basic_ostream<charT, traits>& and the second is of type const charT*, and also for the overload where the first argument is of type basic_ostream<char, traits>& and the second is of type const char*,
std::char_traits<char>::length(s) for the overload where the first argument is of type basic_ostream<charT, traits>& and the second is of type const char*,
traits::length(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(s)) for the other two overloads.
Determines padding for seq as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]. Inserts seq into out. Calls width(0).
Returns: out.
Each unformatted output function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry. If this object returns true, while converting to a value of type bool, the function endeavors to generate the requested output. If an exception is thrown during output, then ios::badbit is turned on330 in *this's error state. If (exceptions() & badbit) != 0 then the exception is rethrown. In any case, the unformatted output function ends by destroying the sentry object, then, if no exception was thrown, returning the value specified for the unformatted output function.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function (as described in [ostream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, inserts the character c, if possible.331
Otherwise, calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).
Returns: *this.
basic_ostream& write(const char_type* s, streamsize n);
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function (as described in [ostream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After constructing a sentry object, obtains characters to insert from successive locations of an array whose first element is designated by s.332 Characters are inserted until either of the following occurs:
n characters are inserted;
inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the function calls setstate(badbit), which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])).
Returns: *this.
Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts], paragraph 1). If rdbuf() is not a null pointer, constructs a sentry object. If this object returns true when converted to a value of type bool the function calls rdbuf()->pubsync(). If that function returns -1 calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). Otherwise, if the sentry object returns false, does nothing.
Returns: *this.

Turn off the skipws flag.

Until an unescaped delim character is reached or !in, extract characters from in and append them to s, except that if an escape is reached, ignore it and append the next character to s.
Discard the final delim character.
Restore the skipws flag to its original value.
Otherwise, in >> s.
If out is an instance of basic_ostream with member types char_type and traits_type the same as charT and traits, respectively, then the expression out << quoted(s, delim, escape) behaves as specified for the const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& overload of the quoted function.
The expression in >> quoted(s, delim, escape) shall have type basic_istream<charT, traits>& and value in. The expression out << quoted(s, delim, escape) shall have type basic_ostream<charT, traits>& and value out.
The header <sstream> defines four class templates and eight types that associate stream buffers with objects of class basic_string, as described in [string.classes].
namespace std { template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>, class Allocator = allocator<charT> > class basic_stringbuf; typedef basic_stringbuf<char> stringbuf; typedef basic_stringbuf<wchar_t> wstringbuf; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>, class Allocator = allocator<charT> > class basic_istringstream; typedef basic_istringstream<char> istringstream; typedef basic_istringstream<wchar_t> wistringstream; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>, class Allocator = allocator<charT> > class basic_ostringstream; typedef basic_ostringstream<char> ostringstream; typedef basic_ostringstream<wchar_t> wostringstream; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>, class Allocator = allocator<charT> > class basic_stringstream; typedef basic_stringstream<char> stringstream; typedef basic_stringstream<wchar_t> wstringstream; }

The class basic_stringbuf is derived from basic_streambuf to associate possibly the input sequence and possibly the output sequence with a sequence of arbitrary characters. The sequence can be initialized from, or made available as, an object of class basic_string.
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:
ios_base::openmode mode, has in set if the input sequence can be read, and out set if the output sequence can be written.
explicit basic_stringbuf(ios_base::openmode which =
ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_stringbuf, initializing the base class with basic_streambuf() ([streambuf.cons]), and initializing mode with which.
Postcondition: str() == "".
explicit basic_stringbuf(const basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>& s,
ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_stringbuf, initializing the base class with basic_streambuf() ([streambuf.cons]), and initializing mode with which. Then calls str(s).
basic_stringbuf(basic_stringbuf&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. It is implementation-defined whether the sequence pointers in *this (eback(), gptr(), egptr(), pbase(), pptr(), epptr()) obtain the values which rhs had. Whether they do or not, *this and rhs reference separate buffers (if any at all) after the construction. The openmode, locale and any other state of rhs is also copied.
Postconditions: Let rhs_p refer to the state of rhs just prior to this construction and let rhs_a refer to the state of rhs just after this construction.
str() == rhs_p.str()
gptr() - eback() == rhs_p.gptr() - rhs_p.eback()
egptr() - eback() == rhs_p.egptr() - rhs_p.eback()
pptr() - pbase() == rhs_p.pptr() - rhs_p.pbase()
epptr() - pbase() == rhs_p.epptr() - rhs_p.pbase()
if (eback()) eback() != rhs_a.eback()
if (gptr()) gptr() != rhs_a.gptr()
if (egptr()) egptr() != rhs_a.egptr()
if (pbase()) pbase() != rhs_a.pbase()
if (pptr()) pptr() != rhs_a.pptr()
if (epptr()) epptr() != rhs_a.epptr()
basic_stringbuf& operator=(basic_stringbuf&& rhs);
Effects: After the move assignment *this has the observable state it would have had if it had been move constructed from rhs (see [stringbuf.cons]).
Returns: *this.
void swap(basic_stringbuf& rhs);
Effects: Exchanges the state of *this and rhs.
template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
void swap(basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>& x,
basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>& y);
Effects: x.swap(y).
basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator> str() const;
Returns: A basic_string object whose content is equal to the basic_stringbuf underlying character sequence. If the basic_stringbuf was created only in input mode, the resultant basic_string contains the character sequence in the range [eback(),egptr()). If the basic_stringbuf was created with which & ios_base::out being true then the resultant basic_string contains the character sequence in the range [pbase(),high_mark), where high_mark represents the position one past the highest initialized character in the buffer. Characters can be initialized by writing to the stream, by constructing the basic_stringbuf with a basic_string, or by calling the str(basic_string) member function. In the case of calling the str(basic_string) member function, all characters initialized prior to the call are now considered uninitialized (except for those characters re-initialized by the new basic_string). Otherwise the basic_stringbuf has been created in neither input nor output mode and a zero length basic_string is returned.
void str(const basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>& s);
Effects: Copies the content of s into the basic_stringbuf underlying character sequence and initializes the input and output sequences according to mode.
Postconditions: If mode & ios_base::out is true, pbase() points to the first underlying character and epptr() >= pbase() + s.size() holds; in addition, if mode & ios_base::ate is true, pptr() == pbase() + s.size() holds, otherwise pptr() == pbase() is true. If mode & ios_base::in is true, eback() points to the first underlying character, and both gptr() == eback() and egptr() == eback() + s.size() hold.
Returns: If the input sequence has a read position available, returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()). Otherwise, returns traits::eof(). Any character in the underlying buffer which has been initialized is considered to be part of the input sequence.
int_type pbackfail(int_type c = traits::eof());
Effects: Puts back the character designated by c to the input sequence, if possible, in one of three ways:
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false and if the input sequence has a putback position available, and if traits::eq(to_char_type(c),gptr()[-1]) returns true, assigns gptr() - 1 to gptr().
Returns: c.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false and if the input sequence has a putback position available, and if mode & ios_base::out is nonzero, assigns c to *-- gptr().
Returns: c.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true and if the input sequence has a putback position available, assigns gptr() - 1 to gptr().
Returns: traits::not_eof(c).
Returns: traits::eof() to indicate failure.
int_type overflow(int_type c = traits::eof());
Effects: Appends the character designated by c to the output sequence, if possible, in one of two ways:
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false and if either the output sequence has a write position available or the function makes a write position available (as described below), the function calls sputc(c ).
Signals success by returning c.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true, there is no character to append.
Signals success by returning a value other than traits::eof().
Remarks: The function can alter the number of write positions available as a result of any call.
Returns: traits::eof() to indicate failure.
The function can make a write position available only if (mode & ios_base::out) != 0. To make a write position available, the function reallocates (or initially allocates) an array object with a sufficient number of elements to hold the current array object (if any), plus at least one additional write position. If (mode & ios_base::in) != 0, the function alters the read end pointer egptr() to point just past the new write position.
pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
ios_base::openmode which
= ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Alters the stream position within one of the controlled sequences, if possible, as indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.seekoff.positioning].
Conditions | Result |
(which & ios_base::in) == ios_base::in | positions the input sequence |
(which & ios_base::out) == ios_base::out | positions the output sequence |
(which & (ios_base::in | ios_base::out)) == (ios_base::in) | ios_base::out)) and way == either ios_base::beg or ios_base::end | positions both the input and the output sequences |
Otherwise | the positioning operation fails. |
For a sequence to be positioned, if its next pointer (either gptr() or pptr()) is a null pointer and the new offset newoff is nonzero, the positioning operation fails. Otherwise, the function determines newoff as indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.newoff.values].
Condition | newoff Value |
way == ios_base::beg | 0 |
way == ios_base::cur | the next pointer minus the beginning pointer (xnext - xbeg). |
way == ios_base::end | the high mark pointer minus the beginning pointer (high_mark - xbeg). |
If (newoff + off) < 0, or if newoff + off refers to an uninitialized character (as defined in [stringbuf.members] paragraph 1), the positioning operation fails. Otherwise, the function assigns xbeg + newoff + off to the next pointer xnext.
Returns: pos_type(newoff), constructed from the resultant offset newoff (of type off_type), that stores the resultant stream position, if possible. If the positioning operation fails, or if the constructed object cannot represent the resultant stream position, the return value is pos_type(off_type(-1)).
pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp, ios_base::openmode which
= ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Equivalent to seekoff(off_type(sp), ios_base::beg, which).
Returns: sp to indicate success, or pos_type(off_type(-1)) to indicate failure.
basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* setbuf(charT* s, streamsize n);
Returns: this.

The header <fstream> defines four class templates and eight types that associate stream buffers with files and assist reading and writing files.
namespace std { template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_filebuf; typedef basic_filebuf<char> filebuf; typedef basic_filebuf<wchar_t> wfilebuf; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_ifstream; typedef basic_ifstream<char> ifstream; typedef basic_ifstream<wchar_t> wifstream; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_ofstream; typedef basic_ofstream<char> ofstream; typedef basic_ofstream<wchar_t> wofstream; template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_fstream; typedef basic_fstream<char> fstream; typedef basic_fstream<wchar_t> wfstream; }
[ Note: The class template basic_filebuf treats a file as a source or sink of bytes. In an environment that uses a large character set, the file typically holds multibyte character sequences and the basic_filebuf object converts those multibyte sequences into wide character sequences. — end note ]
namespace std { template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class basic_filebuf : public basic_streambuf<charT,traits> { public: typedef charT char_type; typedef typename traits::int_type int_type; typedef typename traits::pos_type pos_type; typedef typename traits::off_type off_type; typedef traits traits_type; // [filebuf.cons] Constructors/destructor: basic_filebuf(); basic_filebuf(const basic_filebuf& rhs) = delete; basic_filebuf(basic_filebuf&& rhs); virtual ~basic_filebuf(); // [filebuf.assign] Assign/swap: basic_filebuf& operator=(const basic_filebuf& rhs) = delete; basic_filebuf& operator=(basic_filebuf&& rhs); void swap(basic_filebuf& rhs); // [filebuf.members] Members: bool is_open() const; basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* open(const char* s, ios_base::openmode mode); basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* open(const string& s, ios_base::openmode mode); basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* close(); protected: // [filebuf.virtuals] Overridden virtual functions: virtual streamsize showmanyc(); virtual int_type underflow(); virtual int_type uflow(); virtual int_type pbackfail(int_type c = traits::eof()); virtual int_type overflow (int_type c = traits::eof()); virtual basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* setbuf(char_type* s, streamsize n); virtual pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out); virtual pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out); virtual int sync(); virtual void imbue(const locale& loc); }; template <class charT, class traits> void swap(basic_filebuf<charT, traits>& x, basic_filebuf<charT, traits>& y); }
The class basic_filebuf<charT,traits> associates both the input sequence and the output sequence with a file.
The restrictions on reading and writing a sequence controlled by an object of class basic_filebuf<charT, traits> are the same as for reading and writing with the Standard C library FILEs.
In particular:
If the file is not open for reading the input sequence cannot be read.
If the file is not open for writing the output sequence cannot be written.
A joint file position is maintained for both the input sequence and the output sequence.
An instance of basic_filebuf behaves as described in [filebuf] provided traits::pos_type is fpos<traits::state_type>. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.
In order to support file I/O and multibyte/wide character conversion, conversions are performed using members of a facet, referred to as a_codecvt in following sections, obtained as if by
const codecvt<charT,char,typename traits::state_type>& a_codecvt = use_facet<codecvt<charT,char,typename traits::state_type> >(getloc());
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_filebuf<charT,traits>, initializing the base class with basic_streambuf<charT,traits>() ([streambuf.cons]).
Postcondition: is_open() == false.
basic_filebuf(basic_filebuf&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. It is implementation-defined whether the sequence pointers in *this (eback(), gptr(), egptr(), pbase(), pptr(), epptr()) obtain the values which rhs had. Whether they do or not, *this and rhs reference separate buffers (if any at all) after the construction. Additionally *this references the file which rhs did before the construction, and rhs references no file after the construction. The openmode, locale and any other state of rhs is also copied.
Postconditions: Let rhs_p refer to the state of rhs just prior to this construction and let rhs_a refer to the state of rhs just after this construction.
is_open() == rhs_p.is_open()
rhs_a.is_open() == false
gptr() - eback() == rhs_p.gptr() - rhs_p.eback()

if (pbase()) pbase() != rhs_a.pbase()
if (pptr()) pptr() != rhs_a.pptr()
if (epptr()) epptr() != rhs_a.epptr()
Effects: Destroys an object of class basic_filebuf<charT,traits>. Calls close(). If an exception occurs during the destruction of the object, including the call to close(), the exception is caught but not rethrown (see [res.on.exception.handling]).
basic_filebuf& operator=(basic_filebuf&& rhs);
Effects: Calls this->close() then move assigns from rhs. After the move assignment *this has the observable state it would have had if it had been move constructed from rhs (see [filebuf.cons]).
Returns: *this.
void swap(basic_filebuf& rhs);
Effects: Exchanges the state of *this and rhs.
template <class charT, class traits>
void swap(basic_filebuf<charT, traits>& x,
basic_filebuf<charT, traits>& y);
Effects: x.swap(y).
Returns: true if a previous call to open succeeded (returned a non-null value) and there has been no intervening call to close.
basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* open(const char* s,
ios_base::openmode mode);
Effects: If is_open() != false, returns a null pointer. Otherwise, initializes the filebuf as required. It then opens a file, if possible, whose name is the ntbs s (as if by calling std::fopen(s,modstr)). The ntbs modstr is determined from mode & ~ios_base::ate as indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.file.open.modes]. If mode is not some combination of flags shown in the table then the open fails.

If the open operation succeeds and (mode & ios_base::ate) != 0, positions the file to the end (as if by calling std::fseek(file,0,SEEK_END)).334
If the repositioning operation fails, calls close() and returns a null pointer to indicate failure.
Returns: this if successful, a null pointer otherwise.
basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* open(const string& s,
ios_base::openmode mode);
Returns: open(s.c_str(), mode);
basic_filebuf<charT,traits>* close();
Effects: If is_open() == false, returns a null pointer. If a put area exists, calls overflow(traits::eof()) to flush characters. If the last virtual member function called on *this (between underflow, overflow, seekoff, and seekpos) was overflow then calls a_codecvt.unshift (possibly several times) to determine a termination sequence, inserts those characters and calls overflow(traits::eof()) again. Finally, regardless of whether any of the preceding calls fails or throws an exception, the function closes the file (as if by calling std::fclose(file)).335 If any of the calls made by the function, including std::fclose, fails, close fails by returning a null pointer. If one of these calls throws an exception, the exception is caught and rethrown after closing the file.
Returns: this on success, a null pointer otherwise.
Postcondition: is_open() == false.
The macro SEEK_END is defined, and the function signatures fopen(const char*, const char*) and fseek(FILE*, long, int) are declared, in <cstdio> ([c.files]).
Effects: Behaves the same as basic_streambuf::showmanyc() ([streambuf.virtuals]).
Remarks: An implementation might well provide an overriding definition for this function signature if it can determine that more characters can be read from the input sequence.
Effects: Behaves according to the description of basic_streambuf<charT,traits>::underflow(), with the specialization that a sequence of characters is read from the input sequence as if by reading from the associated file into an internal buffer ( extern_buf) and then as if by doing
char extern_buf[XSIZE]; char* extern_end; charT intern_buf[ISIZE]; charT* intern_end; codecvt_base::result r = a_codecvt.in(state, extern_buf, extern_buf+XSIZE, extern_end, intern_buf, intern_buf+ISIZE, intern_end);
This shall be done in such a way that the class can recover the position (fpos_t) corresponding to each character between intern_buf and intern_end. If the value of r indicates that a_codecvt.in() ran out of space in intern_buf, retry with a larger intern_buf.
Effects: Behaves according to the description of basic_streambuf<charT,traits>::uflow(), with the specialization that a sequence of characters is read from the input with the same method as used by underflow.
int_type pbackfail(int_type c = traits::eof());
Effects: Puts back the character designated by c to the input sequence, if possible, in one of three ways:
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false and if the function makes a putback position available and if traits::eq(to_char_type(c),gptr()[-1]) returns true, decrements the next pointer for the input sequence, gptr().
Returns: c.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns false and if the function makes a putback position available and if the function is permitted to assign to the putback position, decrements the next pointer for the input sequence, and stores c there.
Returns: c.
If traits::eq_int_type(c,traits::eof()) returns true, and if either the input sequence has a putback position available or the function makes a putback position available, decrements the next pointer for the input sequence, gptr().
Returns: traits::not_eof(c).
Returns: traits::eof() to indicate failure.
Remarks: If is_open() == false, the function always fails.
The function does not put back a character directly to the input sequence.
If the function can succeed in more than one of these ways, it is unspecified which way is chosen. The function can alter the number of putback positions available as a result of any call.
int_type overflow(int_type c = traits::eof());
Effects: Behaves according to the description of basic_streambuf<charT,traits>::overflow(c), except that the behavior of “consuming characters” is performed by first converting as if by:
charT* b = pbase(); charT* p = pptr(); charT* end; char xbuf[XSIZE]; char* xbuf_end; codecvt_base::result r = a_codecvt.out(state, b, p, end, xbuf, xbuf+XSIZE, xbuf_end);
and then
If r == codecvt_base::error then fail.
If r == codecvt_base::noconv then output characters from b up to (and not including) p.
If r == codecvt_base::partial then output to the file characters from xbuf up to xbuf_end, and repeat using characters from end to p. If output fails, fail (without repeating).
Otherwise output from xbuf to xbuf_end, and fail if output fails. At this point if b != p and b == end (xbuf isn't large enough) then increase XSIZE and repeat from the beginning.
Returns: traits::not_eof(c) to indicate success, and traits::eof() to indicate failure. If is_open() == false, the function always fails.
basic_streambuf* setbuf(char_type* s, streamsize n);
pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Effects: Let width denote a_codecvt.encoding(). If is_open() == false, or off != 0 && width <= 0, then the positioning operation fails. Otherwise, if way != basic_ios::cur or off != 0, and if the last operation was output, then update the output sequence and write any unshift sequence. Next, seek to the new position: if width > 0, call std::fseek(file, width * off, whence), otherwise call std::fseek(file, 0, whence).
Remarks: “The last operation was output” means either the last virtual operation was overflow or the put buffer is non-empty. “Write any unshift sequence” means, if width if less than zero then call a_codecvt.unshift(state, xbuf, xbuf+XSIZE, xbuf_end) and output the resulting unshift sequence. The function determines one of three values for the argument whence, of type int, as indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.seekoff.effects].
way Value | stdio Equivalent |
basic_ios::beg | SEEK_SET |
basic_ios::cur | SEEK_CUR |
basic_ios::end | SEEK_END |
Returns: A newly constructed pos_type object that stores the resultant stream position, if possible. If the positioning operation fails, or if the object cannot represent the resultant stream position, returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).
pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp,
ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);
Alters the file position, if possible, to correspond to the position stored in sp (as described below). Altering the file position performs as follows:
if (om & ios_base::out) != 0, then update the output sequence and write any unshift sequence;
set the file position to sp;
if (om & ios_base::in) != 0, then update the input sequence;
where om is the open mode passed to the last call to open(). The operation fails if is_open() returns false.
If sp is an invalid stream position, or if the function positions neither sequence, the positioning operation fails. If sp has not been obtained by a previous successful call to one of the positioning functions (seekoff or seekpos) on the same file the effects are undefined.
Returns: sp on success. Otherwise returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).
void imbue(const locale& loc);
Requires: If the file is not positioned at its beginning and the encoding of the current locale as determined by a_codecvt.encoding() is state-dependent ([locale.codecvt.virtuals]) then that facet is the same as the corresponding facet of loc.
Effects: Causes characters inserted or extracted after this call to be converted according to loc until another call of imbue.
Remark: This may require reconversion of previously converted characters. This in turn may require the implementation to be able to reconstruct the original contents of the file.

The contents of header <cinttypes> are the same as the Standard C Library header <inttypes.h>, with the following changes:
the header <cinttypes> includes the header <cstdint> instead of <stdint.h>, and
if and only if the type intmax_t designates an extended integer type ([basic.fundamental]), the following function signatures are added:
intmax_t abs(intmax_t); imaxdiv_t div(intmax_t, intmax_t);
which shall have the same semantics as the function signatures intmax_t imaxabs(intmax_t) and imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t, intmax_t), respectively.
