  char fill( char cFill );
  char fill() const;
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <cFill>     The new fill character to be used as padding between
              fields.
 
  Remarks
 
  The first overloaded function sets the stream's internal fill character
  variable to <cFill> and returns the previous value. The default fill
  character is a space.
 
  The second fill function returns the stream's fill character.
