Detailed Description

   template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits = char_traits<_CharT>>class std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits
       >::sentry
       Performs setup work for input streams.

       Objects of this class are created before all of the standard extractors are run. It is responsible for
       exception-safe prefix and suffix operations, although only prefix actions are currently required by the
       standard.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits = char_traits<_CharT>> std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits
       >::sentry::sentry (basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > &__is, bool__noskipws = false) [explicit]
       The constructor performs all the work.

       Parameters:
           is The input stream to guard.
           noskipws Whether to consume whitespace or not.

       If the stream state is good (is.good() is true), then the following actions are performed, otherwise the
       sentry state is false (not okay) and failbit is set in the stream state.

       The sentry's preparatory actions are:

       1.  if  the  stream  is  tied  to an output stream, is.tie()->flush() is called to synchronize the output
           sequence

       2.  if noskipws is false, and ios_base::skipws is set in is.flags(), the  sentry  extracts  and  discards
           whitespace  characters from the stream. The currently imbued locale is used to determine whether each
           character is whitespace.

       If the stream state is still good, then the sentry state becomes true (okay).

Member Function Documentation

   template<typename  _CharT,  typename  _Traits  =  char_traits<_CharT>>  std::basic_istream<  _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).
