FBB::lm(3bobcat) | OFoldStream manipulator | FBB::lm(3bobcat) |
FBB::lm - Manipulator setting left margins of OFoldStream objects
#include <bobcat/ofoldstream> or
#include <bobcat/ofoldbuf>
Linking option: -lbobcat
The lm class implements a manipulator that can be inserted into OFoldStream objects to set the stream’s left margin to a requested value.
Depending on the tab-setting of the OFoldStream the inserted value represents the number of blank space characters or the number of tab-characters that will be used for the left margin.
The request will be processed at the next newline character or std::flush or std::endl manipulator that is inserted into the stream. If a line is still once an lm object and a flush manipulator are inserted into the stream then the new left margin will be effective at the next word inserted into that line (cf., the example section below).
A bad_cast exception is thrown when the manipulator is inserted into an ostream that is not using a OFoldBuf buffer.
FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.
-
Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are available.
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/ofoldstream>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
OFoldStream out(cout, 0, 80);
out << "hello world (left margin is 0)" << lm(4) << "\n"
"this uses a 4 character wide left margin\n" <<
lm(0) << flush << "at column 0 again\n";
}
