Parameters
_Pfn
A function pointer._Strbuf
A pointer to a stream_buf object._Val
An element to write to the stream.
Return Value
A reference to the basic_ostream object.
Remarks
The <ostream> header also defines several global insertion operators. For more information, see operator<< (<ostream>).
The first member function ensures that an expression of the form ostr << endl calls endl(ostr), and then returns *this. The second and third functions ensure that other manipulators, such as hex, behave similarly. The remaining functions are all formatted output functions.
The function
basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(basic_streambuf<Elem, Tr> *_Strbuf);
extracts elements from _Strbuf, if _Strbuf is not a null pointer, and inserts them. Extraction stops on end of file, or if an extraction throws an exception (which is rethrown). It also stops, without extracting the element in question, if an insertion fails. If the function inserts no elements, or if an extraction throws an exception, the function calls setstate(failbit). In any case, the function returns *this.
The function
basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(bool _Val);
converts _Val to a Boolean field and inserts it by calling use_facet<num_put<Elem, OutIt>(getloc). put(OutIt(rdbuf), *this, getloc, val). Here, OutIt is defined as ostreambuf_iterator<Elem, Tr>. The function returns *this.

basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(long long _Val);

basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(const void *_Val);
each convert _Val to a numeric field and insert it by calling use_facet<num_put<Elem, OutIt>(getloc). put(OutIt(rdbuf), *this, getloc, val). Here, OutIt is defined as ostreambuf_iterator<Elem, Tr>. The function returns *this.
The functions
basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(float _Val);
basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(double _Val);
basic_ostream<_Elem, _Tr>& operator<<(long double _Val);
each convert _Val to a numeric field and insert it by calling use_facet<num_put<Elem, OutIt>(getloc). put(OutIt(rdbuf), *this, getloc, val). Here, OutIt is defined as ostreambuf_iterator<Elem, Tr>. The function returns *this.
Example
// basic_ostream_op_write.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
ios_base& hex2( ios_base& ib )
{
ib.unsetf( ios_base::dec );
ib.setf( ios_base::hex );
return ib;
}
basic_ostream<char, char_traits<char> >& somefunc(basic_ostream<char, char_traits<char> > &i)
{
if ( i == cout )
{
i << "i is cout" << endl;
}
return i;
}
class CTxtStreambuf : public basic_streambuf< char, char_traits< char > >
{
public:
CTxtStreambuf(char *_pszText)
{
pszText = _pszText;
setg(pszText, pszText, pszText+strlen(pszText));
};
char *pszText;
};
int main( )
{
cout << somefunc;
cout << 21 << endl;
hex2(cout);
cout << 21 << endl;
CTxtStreambuf f("text in streambuf");
cout << &f << endl;
}
Output
i is cout
21
15
text in streambuf
