std::istringstream: std::basic_istringstream

NAME

std::basic_istringstream - std::basic_istringstream

Synopsis

Defined in header <sstream>
template<
class CharT, (until C++11)
class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>
> class basic_istringstream;
template<
class CharT,
class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>, (since C++11)
class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT>
> class basic_istringstream;

The class template std::basic_istringstream implements input operations on memory (std::basic_string) based streams. It essentially wraps a raw string device implementation (std::basic_stringbuf) into a higher-level interface (std::basic_istream). The complete interface to unique std::basic_stringbuf members is provided.
