std::resetiosflags

Defined in header <iomanip>
/*unspecified*/ resetiosflags( std::ios_base::fmtflags mask );

When used in an expression out << resetiosflags(mask) or in >> resetiosflags(mask), clears all format flags of the stream out or in as specified by the mask.

Parameters

mask - bitmask of the flags to clear

Return value

An object of unspecified type such that.

  • if out is an object of type std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>, the expression out << resetiosflags(mask)
    • has type std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>&
    • has value out
    • behaves as if it called f(out, mask)
  • if in is an object of type std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>, the expression in >> resetiosflags(mask)
    • has type std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>&
    • has value in
    • behaves as if it called f(in, mask)

where the function f is defined as:

void f(std::ios_base& str, std::ios_base::fmtflags mask)
{
    // reset specified flags
    str.setf(ios_base::fmtflags(0), mask);
}

Example

#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
 
int main()
{
    std::istringstream in("10 010 10 010 10 010");
    int n1, n2;
 
    in >> std::oct >> n1 >> n2;
    std::cout << "Parsing \"10 010\" with std::oct gives: " << n1 << ' ' << n2 << '\n';
 
    in >> std::dec >> n1 >> n2;
    std::cout << "Parsing \"10 010\" with std::dec gives: " << n1 << ' ' << n2 << '\n';
 
    in >> std::resetiosflags(std::ios_base::basefield) >> n1 >> n2;
    std::cout << "Parsing \"10 010\" with autodetect gives: " << n1 << ' ' << n2 << '\n';
}

Output:

Parsing "10 010" with std::oct gives: 8 8
Parsing "10 010" with std::dec gives: 10 10
Parsing "10 010" with autodetect gives: 10 8
