| istream::gcount |
public member function |
streamsize gcount ( ) const; |
|
Get number of characters extracted by last unformatted input operation
Returns the number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input operation performed on the object.
The unformatted input operations that modify the value returned by this function are those performed by the following member functions: get, getline, ignore, peek, read, readsome, putback and unget.
Notice though, that peek, putback and unget do not extract characters. So gcount will always return zero after a call to any of these.
Parameters
none
Return Value
An integer value of type
streamsize with the number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input operation.
