}The class template basic_ostream defines a number of member function signatures that assist in formatting and writing output to output sequences controlled by a stream buffer.
Two groups of member function signatures share common properties: the formatted output functions (or inserters) and the unformatted output functions. Both groups of output functions generate (or insert) output characters by actions equivalent to calling rdbuf()->sputc(int_type). They may use other public members of basic_ostream except that they shall not invoke any virtual members of rdbuf() except overflow(), xsputn(), and sync().
If one of these called functions throws an exception, then unless explicitly noted otherwise the output function sets badbit in error state. If badbit is on in exceptions(), the output function rethrows the exception without completing its actions, otherwise it does not throw anything and treat as an error.
explicit basic_ostream(basic_streambuf<charT, traits>* sb);
Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_ostream, initializing the base class subobject with basic_ios<charT, traits>::init(sb) ([basic.ios.cons]).
basic_ostream(basic_ostream&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. This is accomplished by default constructing the base class and calling basic_ios<charT, traits>::move(rhs) to initialize the base class.

class basic_ostream<charT, traits>::sentry {
bool ok_; // exposition only
public:
explicit sentry(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os);
~sentry();
explicit operator bool() const { return ok_; }
sentry(const sentry&) = delete;
sentry& operator=(const sentry&) = delete;
};
}The class sentry defines a class that is responsible for doing exception safe prefix and suffix operations.
explicit sentry(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os);
If, after any preparation is completed, os.good() is true, ok_ == true otherwise, ok_ == false. During preparation, the constructor may call setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags]))319
~sentry();
If (os.flags() & ios_base::unitbuf) && !uncaught_exceptions() && os.good() is true, calls os.rdbuf()->pubsync(). If that function returns -1, sets badbit in os.rdstate() without propagating an exception.
explicit operator bool() const;
The call os.tie()->flush() does not necessarily occur if the function can determine that no synchronization is necessary.
The sentry constructor and destructor can also perform additional implementation-dependent operations.
Each seek member function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry. It returns by destroying the sentry object.
pos_type tellp();
Returns: If fail() != false, returns pos_type(-1) to indicate failure. Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0, cur, out).
basic_ostream<charT, traits>& seekp(pos_type pos);
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos, ios_base::out). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
basic_ostream<charT, traits>& seekp(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir dir);
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekoff(off, dir, ios_base::out). In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).
