NAME¶

std::fpos::state - std::fpos::state

Synopsis¶

State state() const; (1)
void state( State st ); (2)

Manages the file position state.

1) Returns the value of the file position state
2) Replaces the file position state with the value of st.

For the specializations of std::fpos that are used in the standard library, State is
always std::mbstate_t

Parameters¶

st - new value for the state

Return value¶

1) the current value of the fpos state
2) (none)

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cwchar>

int main()
{
std::istringstream s("test");
std::mbstate_t st = s.tellg().state();

if(std::mbsinit(&st))
std::cout << "The stream is in the initial shift state\n";
}

Output:¶

The stream is in the initial shift state
