public member function

std::ostream::put

<ostream>
ostream& put ( char c );
Put character
Writes the character c to the output buffer at the current put position and increases the put pointer to point to the next character.

Parameters

c
Character to write.

Return Value

The function returns *this.

In case of error, the badbit flag is set (which can be checked with member bad). Also, depending on the values set through member exceptions, this may cause an exception of type ios_base::failure to be thrown.
