<strstream>

Defines several classes that support iostreams operations on sequences stored in an allocated array of char object. Such sequences are easily converted to and from C strings.

Requirements

Header: <strstream>

Namespace: std

Remarks

Objects of type strstream work with char *, which are C strings. Use <sstream> to work with objects of type basic_string.

Note

The classes in <strstream> are deprecated. Consider using the classes in <sstream> instead.
