basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& (*pf)(basic_ostream<charT, traits>&));

1
#

Effects: None. Does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

2
#

Returns: pf(*this).321

basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(basic_ios<charT, traits>& (*pf)(basic_ios<charT, traits>&));

3
#

Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

4
#

Returns: *this.322

basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(ios_base& (*pf)(ios_base&));

5
#

Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

6
#

Returns: *this.

basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(basic_streambuf<charT, traits>* sb);

7
#

Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function. After the sentry object is constructed, if sb is null calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​failure).

8
#

Gets characters from sb and inserts them in *this. Characters are read from sb and inserted until any of the following occurs:

  • (8.1)

    end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;

  • (8.2)

    inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);

  • (8.3)

    an exception occurs while getting a character from sb.

9
#

If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​​failure ([iostate.flags])). If an exception was thrown while extracting a character, the function sets failbit in error state, and if failbit is on in exceptions() the caught exception is rethrown.

10
#

Returns: *this.

basic_ostream<charT, traits>& operator<<(nullptr_t);

11
#

Effects: Equivalent to: 

return *this << s;

where s is an implementation-defined NTCTS.
