std::basic_spanstream(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_spanstream(3)

NAME

std::basic_spanstream - std::basic_spanstream

Synopsis


Defined in header <spanstream>
template<


class CharT,
class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> (since C++23)
> class basic_spanstream


: public basic_iostream<CharT, Traits>


The class template std::basic_spanstream implements input and output operations on
streams based on fixed buffers.


At the low level, the class essentially wraps a raw device implementation of
std::basic_spanbuf into a higher-level interface of std::basic_iostream. The
complete interface to unique std::basic_spanbuf members is provided.
