Template:cpp/io/sidebar

Standard input/output library is organized in such a way that the underlying device of an input/output operation is abstracted. In this way the same code can handle input/output to a file, memory stream, or custom adaptor device interpreting the data on the fly, e.g. compressing it. Most of the classes are templated, so they can be adapted to any basic character type. Separate typedefs are provided for the most common basic character types (Template:cpp and Template:cpp).

The following typedefs for common character types are provided:

typedef basic_ios<char>                ios;
typedef basic_ios<wchar_t>            wios;
 
typedef basic_streambuf<char>     streambuf;

typedef basic_filebuf<char>         filebuf;
typedef basic_filebuf<wchar_t>     wfilebuf;
typedef basic_stringbuf<char>     stringbuf;
typedef basic_stringbuf<wchar_t> wstringbuf;
 
typedef basic_istream<char>         istream;
typedef basic_istream<wchar_t>     wistream;
typedef basic_ostream<char>         ostream;
typedef basic_ostream<wchar_t>     wostream;
typedef basic_iostream<char>       iostream;
typedef basic_iostream<wchar_t>   wiostream;
 
typedef basic_ifstream<char>       ifstream;
typedef basic_ifstream<wchar_t>   wifstream;
typedef basic_ofstream<char>       ofstream;
typedef basic_ofstream<wchar_t>   wofstream;

typedef basic_istringstream<char>     istringstream;
typedef basic_istringstream<wchar_t> wistringstream;
typedef basic_ostringstream<char>     ostringstream;
typedef basic_ostringstream<wchar_t> wostringstream;
typedef basic_stringstream<char>       stringstream;
typedef basic_stringstream<wchar_t>   wstringstream;

Predefined standard stream objects:

extern  istream  cin;   //standard input (stdin)
extern wistream wcin;
extern  ostream  cout;  //standard output (stdout)
extern wostream wcout;
extern  ostream  cerr;  //standard error (stderr)
extern wostream wcerr;
extern  ostream  clog;  //standard log (stdlog)
extern wostream wclog;

I/O Manipulators

Types

The following auxiliary type are defined:

Defined in header <ios>
represents relative file/stream position (offset from fpos), sufficient to represent any file size
(typedef)
represents the number of characters transferred in an I/O operation or the size of an I/O buffer
(typedef)
represents absolute position in a stream or a file
(class template)

Four specializations of Template:cpp are provided: Template:tdcl list begin Template:tdcl list header Template:tdcl list hitem Template:tdcl list item Template:tdcl list item Template:tdcl list item Template:tdcl list item Template:tdcl list end

Error category interface
