std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>::put - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| basic_ostream& put( char_type ch ); | | | | ------------------------------------- | | |

Behaves as an UnformattedOutputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, writes the character ch to the output stream.

If the output fails for any reason, sets badbit.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

*this

[edit] Notes

This function is not overloaded for the types signed char or unsigned char, unlike the formatted operator<<.

Unlike formatted output functions, this function does not set the failbit if the output fails.

[edit] Example

#include #include   int main() { std::cout.put('a'); // normal usage std::cout.put('\n');   std::ofstream s("/does/not/exist/"); s.clear(); // pretend the stream is good std::cout << "Unformatted output: "; s.put('c'); // this will set badbit, but not failbit std::cout << " fail=" << bool(s.rdstate() & s.failbit); std::cout << " bad=" << s.bad() << '\n'; s.clear(); std::cout << "Formatted output: "; s << 'c'; // this will set badbit and failbit std::cout << " fail=" << bool(s.rdstate() & s.failbit); std::cout << " bad=" << s.bad() << '\n'; }

Output:

a Unformatted output: fail=0 bad=1 Formatted output: fail=1 bad=1
