ends function template — Manipulator to write an end-of-string character

Synopsis

template <class charT, class traits>
basic_ostream<charT,traits>& ends(basic_ostream<charT,traits>& os);

The ends function template is a manipulator that writes a null character (defined by charT( )) to os to mark the end of a string. Typically, ends is used only when writing to a character array stream, that is, ostrstream:

std::ostrstream out1;
out1 << "Hi" << std::ends; // out1.str(  ) has length 2.
