STD::OSTREAMBUF_ITERATOR(3)

💖 std::ostreambuf_iterator< _CharT, _Traits > 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libstdc++ manual, section 3, Library Functions Manual — yes that's the manual name, and yeah the title line is the whole std::ostreambuf_iterator< _CharT, _Traits > thing, we're folding it in right here, you're welcome 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

std::ostreambuf_iterator< _CharT, _Traits > — it's giving output iterator semantics for streambufs. literally that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <iterator>

Inherits std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >. so it's an iterator, it said what it said 👑

🌸 Public Types 🌸

• typedef output_iterator_tag iterator_category — one of the tag types, it's literally the category tag bestie.
• typedef void pointer — this type represents a pointer-to-value_type.
• typedef void reference — this type represents a reference-to-value_type.
• typedef void value_type — the type "pointed to" by the iterator.
  • using difference_type — public typedefs.
  • typedef _CharT char_type — public typedefs.
  • typedef _Traits traits_type — public typedefs.
  • typedef basic_streambuf< _CharT, _Traits > streambuf_type — public typedefs.
  • typedef basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > ostream_type — public typedefs.

🦋 Public Member Functions 🦋

• ostreambuf_iterator (ostream_type &__s) noexcept — construct output iterator from an ostream ✨
• ostreambuf_iterator (streambuf_type *__s) noexcept — construct output iterator from a streambuf ✨
• ostreambuf_iterator & _M_put (const _CharT *__ws, streamsize __len) — the internal putter, it's doing the work behind the scenes 💅
• bool failed () const noexcept — return true if the previous operator=() failed 😭
• ostreambuf_iterator & operator* () — return *this. that's it. that's the function.
• ostreambuf_iterator & operator++ () — return *this. again. iconic behaviour honestly.
• ostreambuf_iterator & operator++ (int) — return *this. third time's the charm 🎀
• ostreambuf_iterator & operator= (_CharT __c) — write character to streambuf. calls streambuf.sputc(). this is the main character right here 👑

class std::ostreambuf_iterator< _CharT, _Traits >

"Provides output iterator semantics for streambufs." — that's the official vibe check and it passed ✅

okay bestie that's the whole page, every single flag, typedef, function and inherited thing accounted for, no skips, no cap. this was libstdc++ manual page std::ostre..., _Traits >(3), and yeah the footer was doing the same std::ostre..., _Traits >(3) thing with libstdc++ on the left, so consider yourself formally dismissed 💅✨ slay, go write to a streambuf or something 🦋
