std::ostrstream

From cppreference.com
< cpp | io
Defined in header <strstream>
class ostrstream : public std::ostream
(deprecated)

The class ostrstream implements output operations on array-backed streams. It essentially wraps a raw array I/O device implementation (std::strstreambuf) into the higher-level interface of std::basic_ostream.

The typical implementation of ostrstream holds only one non-derived data member: an object of type std::strstreambuf.
