C++ IOS Library - narrow

---

Description

It is used to fing arrow character and returns the transformation of c to its equivalent using the ctype::narrow facet of the locale object currently imbued in the stream, if such an equivalence exists, or dfault otherwise.

This function is designed for instantiations of basic_ios that use a different (wider) character type: see basic_ios::narro.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for ios::narrow function.

char narrow (char c, char dfault) const;

Parameters

c − Character to be "narrowed".

dfault − Character returned if c has no standard equivalent.

Return Value

The narrow equivalent of c, if any. Otherwise, it returns dfault.

Exceptions

Strong guarantee − if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the stream.

Data races

Accesses the stream object.

Concurrent access to the same stream object may cause data races.
