C++ In a Nutshell

Name

internal function — Manipulator to align output on an internal point

Synopsis

ios_base& internal(ios_base& stream)

The internal function is a manipulator that sets the stream’s alignment to internal. The function calls stream.setf(ios_base::internal, ios_base::adjustfield) and returns stream. Internal padding works as follows:

• If the formatted number begins with a sign, insert the padding after the sign.

• If the formatted number begins with 0x or 0X, insert the padding after the x or X.

• Otherwise, insert the padding before the number (like ios_base::right).
