template<class... Args> void print(ostream& os, format_string<Args...> fmt, Args&&... args);
Effects: If the ordinary literal encoding ([lex.charset]) is UTF-8, equivalent to: vprint_unicode(os, fmt.str, make_format_args(args...));
Otherwise, equivalent to: vprint_nonunicode(os, fmt.str, make_format_args(args...));
template<class... Args> void println(ostream& os, format_string<Args...> fmt, Args&&... args);
Effects: Equivalent to: print(os, "{}\n", format(os.getloc(), fmt, std::forward<Args>(args)...));
void println(ostream& os);
Effects: Equivalent to: print(os, "\n");
void vprint_unicode(ostream& os, string_view fmt, format_args args); void vprint_nonunicode(ostream& os, string_view fmt, format_args args);
Effects: Behaves as a formatted output function ([ostream.formatted.reqmts]) of os, except that:
  • failure to generate output is reported as specified below, and
  • any exception thrown by the call to vformat is propagated without regard to the value of os.exceptions() and without turning on ios_base​::​badbit in the error state of os.
After constructing a sentry object, the function initializes a variable with automatic storage duration via string out = vformat(os.getloc(), fmt, args);
  • If the function is vprint_unicode and os is a stream that refers to a terminal that is capable of displaying Unicode only via a native Unicode API, which is determined in an implementation-defined manner, flushes os and then writes out to the terminal using the native Unicode API; if out contains invalid code units, the behavior is undefined.
  • Otherwise inserts the character sequence [out.begin(), out.end()) into os.
If writing to the terminal or inserting into os fails, calls os.setstate(ios_base​::​badbit) (which may throw ios_base​::​failure).
Recommended practice: For vprint_unicode, if invoking the native Unicode API requires transcoding, implementations should substitute invalid code units with U+fffd replacement character per the Unicode Standard, Chapter 3.9 U+fffd Substitution in Conversion.
