C++ Library - <basic_ios>

Introduction

Basic_ios define the components of streams that do not depend on whether the stream is an input or an output stream: ios_base describes the members that are independent of the template parameters (i.e. the character type and traits), while basic_ios describes the members that do depend on them.

Definition

Below is definition of basic_ios as shown below −

 template <class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class ios_base;

Parameters

Parameters of basic_ios should be like this −

parameters − Character type.
traits − Character traits class that defines essential properties of the characters used by stream objects (see char_traits).
