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

char narrow (char c, char dfault) const;

Parameters

Return Value

Exceptions

Data races
