The second operator attaches a streambuf object to an existing ostream_withassign object, and it initializes the state of the ostream_withassign object. This operator is often used in conjunction with the void-argument constructor. Example filebuf fb( "test.dat" ); // Filebuf object attached to "test.dat" cout = &fb; // fb associated with cout cout << "testing"; // Message goes to "test.dat" instead of stdout See Also ◄ostream_withassign::ostream_withassign►, ◄cout► -♦-
