NAME
std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry - Performs setup work for output streams.
SYNOPSIS
#include <ostream>
Public Member Functions
sentry (basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > &__os)
The constructor performs preparatory work.
~sentry ()
Possibly flushes the stream.
operator bool () const
Quick status checking.
Detailed Description
template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
class std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry"Performs setup work for output streams.
Objects of this class are created before all of the standard inserters are run. It is responsible for
exception-safe prefix and suffix operations.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::sentry
(basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & __os) [explicit]
The constructor performs preparatory work.
Parameters
__os The output stream to guard.
If the stream state is good (__os.good() is true), then if the stream is tied to another output stream,
is.tie()->flush() is called to synchronize the output sequences.
If the stream state is still good, then the sentry state becomes true (okay).
References std::ios_base::failbit.
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::~sentry ()
[inline]
Possibly flushes the stream. If ios_base::unitbuf is set in os.flags(), and std::uncaught_exception() is
true, the sentry destructor calls flush() on the output stream.
Member Function Documentation
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::operator bool ()
const [inline], [explicit]
Quick status checking.
Returns
The sentry state.
For ease of use, sentries may be converted to booleans. The return value is that of the sentry state
(true == okay).
