| <P>A predefined stream that controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object <SAMP>stderr</SAMP> declared in <SAMP><cstdio></SAMP></P> |
| <A NAME="sec3"><H3>Synopsis</H3></A> |
| |
| <PRE>#include <iostream> |
| |
| namespace std { |
| extern ostream clog; |
| } |
| </PRE> |
| <A NAME="sec4"><H3>Description</H3></A> |
| <P>The object <SAMP>clog</SAMP> controls output to a stream buffer associated with the object <SAMP>stderr</SAMP> declared in <SAMP><cstdio></SAMP>. The difference between <SAMP>clog</SAMP> and <SAMP>cerr</SAMP> is that <SAMP>clog</SAMP> is buffered but <SAMP>cerr</SAMP> is not. Therefore, commands like <SAMP>clog</SAMP> <SAMP><< "ERROR !!";</SAMP> and <SAMP>fprintf(stderr,"ERROR !!");</SAMP> are not synchronized. </P> |
| <A NAME="sec5"><H3>Formatting</H3></A> |
| <P>The formatting is done through member functions or manipulators. See <B><I><A HREF="cout.html">cout</A></I></B> or <B><I><A HREF="basic-ostream.html">basic_ostream</A></I></B> for details. </P> |
| <A NAME="sec6"><H3>Warnings</H3></A> |
| <P><SAMP>clog</SAMP> can be used to redirect some of the errors to another recipient. For example, you might want to redirect them to a file named <SAMP>my_err</SAMP>, as in: </P> |
| |
| <UL><PRE> |
| ofstream out("my_err"); |
| if ( out ) |
| clog.rdbuf(out.rdbuf()); |
| |
| else |
| |
| cerr << "Error while opening the file" << endl; |
| </PRE></UL> |
| <P>Then when you are doing something like: </P> |
| |
| <UL><PRE> |
| clog << "error number x"; |
| </PRE></UL> |
| <P>the error message is output to the file <SAMP>my_err</SAMP>. Obviously, you can use the same scheme to redirect <SAMP>clog</SAMP> to other devices.</P> |
