std:: setiosflags

When used in an expression out << setiosflags ( mask ) or in >> setiosflags ( mask ) , sets all format flags of the stream out or in as specified by the mask .

Parameters

Return value

An object of unspecified type such that

• if out is an object of type std:: basic_ostream < CharT, Traits > , the expression out << setiosflags ( mask )
  • has type std:: basic_ostream < CharT, Traits > &
  • has value out
  • behaves as if it called f ( out, mask )
• if in is an object of type std:: basic_istream < CharT, Traits > , the expression in >> setiosflags ( mask )
  • has type std:: basic_istream < CharT, Traits > &
  • has value in
  • behaves as if it called f ( in, mask )

where the function f is defined as:

void f(std::ios_base& str, std::ios_base::fmtflags mask)
{
    // set specified flags
    str.setf(mask);
}

Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::resetiosflags(std::ios_base::dec) 
              << std::setiosflags(  std::ios_base::hex
                                  | std::ios_base::uppercase
                                  | std::ios_base::showbase) << 42 << '\n';
}
