using fmtflags = T1;

The type fmtflags is a bitmask type ([bitmask.types]).

Setting its elements has the effects indicated in Table 118 .

Table 118: fmtflags effects [tab:ios.fmtflags]

🔗	Element	Effect(s) if set
🔗	boolalpha	insert and extract bool type in alphabetic format
🔗	dec	converts integer input or generates integer output in decimal base
🔗	fixed	generate floating-point output in fixed-point notation
🔗	hex	converts integer input or generates integer output in hexadecimal base
🔗	internal	adds fill characters at a designated internal point in certain generated output, or identical to right if no such point is designated
🔗	left	adds fill characters on the right (final positions) of certain generated output
🔗	oct	converts integer input or generates integer output in octal base
🔗	right	adds fill characters on the left (initial positions) of certain generated output
🔗	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 119 .
