std::range_format(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for std::range_format — and yes, it's literally std::range_format doing std::range_format things 💅. It lives in the C++ Standard Libary (their spelling, not mine 😭) and the manpage is std::range_format(3), periodt.

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <format>:

enum class range_format {

    disabled,
    map,
    set,                    (since C++23)
    sequence,
    string,
    debug_string

};

Specifies how a range should be formatted. That's the whole vibe check: this enum tells you how a range gets formatted 🫶.

🎀 the constants, explained 🎀

• disabled — disallows the range default formatter to format the range. nope, not today 🙈.
• map — allows formatting the range as a map representation with modified brackets "{", "}" and separator ": " for underlying pair-like types, in the following format: { key-1 : value-1, ..., key-n : value-n } 🔥.
• set — allows formatting the range as a set representation with modified brackets "{" and "}" in the following format: { key-1, ..., key-n } ✨.
• sequence — allows formatting the range as a sequence representation with default brackets "[", "]" and separator ", " in the following format: [ element-1, ..., element-n ] 🌈.
• string — allows formatting the range as a string 🎀.
• debug_string — allows formatting the range as an escaped string 💜.
