NAME¶

std::ends - std::ends

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <ostream>
template< class CharT, class Traits >
std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& ends( std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os );

Inserts a null character into the output sequence os as if by calling
os.put(CharT()).

This is an output-only I/O manipulator, it may be called with an expression such as
out << std::ends for any out of type std::basic_ostream.

Notes¶

This manipulator is typically used with std::ostrstream, when the associated output
buffer needs to be null-terminated to be processed as a C string.

Unlike std::endl, this manipulator does not flush the stream.

Parameters¶

os - reference to output stream

Return value¶

os (reference to the stream after insertion of the null character).

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <cstdio>
#include <strstream>

int main()
{
std::ostrstream oss;
oss << "Sample text: " << 42 << std::ends;
std::printf("%s\n", oss.str());
oss.freeze(false); // enable memory deallocation
}

Output:¶

Sample text: 42
