Defined in header <spanstream>
template<     class CharT,     class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> > class basic_spanstream;		(since C++23)

The class template std::basic_spanstream implements input and output operations on streams based on fixed buffers.

At the low level, the class essentially wraps a raw device implementation of std::basic_spanbuf into a higher-level interface of std::basic_iostream. The complete interface to unique std::basic_spanbuf members is provided.

Typical implementations of std::basic_spantream only add one member subobject: the wrapped std::basic_spanbuf.

Inheritance diagram

Two specializations for common character types are also defined:

Defined in header <spanstream>
Type	Definition
spanstream	basic_spanstream<char>
wspanstream	basic_spanstream<wchar_t>

Member types

Member type	Definition
char_type	CharT
traits_type	Traits; the program is ill-formed if Traits::char_type is not CharT.
int_type	Traits::int_type
pos_type	Traits::pos_type
off_type	Traits::off_type

Member functions

(constructor) (C++23)	constructs the basic_spanstream (public member function)
(destructor) [virtual] (C++23)	destroys the basic_spanstream (virtual public member function)
operator= (C++23)	move-assignments the basic_spanstream (public member function)
swap (C++23)	swaps two basic_spanstream objects (public member function)
rdbuf (C++23)	obtains the address of the wrapped raw span device object (public member function)
Underlying buffer operations
span (C++23)	gets or sets the underlying buffer of the wrapped span device object (public member function)

Non-member functions

std::swap(std::basic_spanstream) (C++23)

specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)
