NAME
wcerr
- Controls output to an unbuffered stream buffer associated
with the object stderr declared in <cstdio>.
SYNOPSIS
#include <iostream>
extern wostream wcerr;
wostream wcerr;
DESCRIPTION
The object wcerr controls output to an unbuffered stream
buffer associated with the object stderr declared in
<cstdio>. By default the standard C and C++ streams are syn-
chronized, but you can improve performance by using the
ios_base member function synch_with_stdio to desynchronize
them.
wcerr uses the locale codecvt facet to convert the wide
characters it receives to the tiny characters it outputs to
stderr.
FORMATTING
The formatting is done through member functions or manipula-
tors. See cout, wcout, or basic_ostream for details.
EXAMPLE
//
// wcerr example
//
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
void main ( )
{
using namespace std;
// open the file "file_name.txt"
// for reading
wifstream in("file_name.txt");
// output the all file to stdout
if ( in )
wcout << in.rdbuf();
else
// if the wifstream object is in a bad state
// output an error message to stderr
wcerr << L"Error while opening the file" << endl;
}
