basic_stringstream::str

To return or assign the basic_string object stored in the buffer.

  basic_string<charT> str() const;
  void str(const basic_string<charT> &s);

Remarks

The function str() freezes the buffer then returns a basic_string object.

The function str(const string s) assigns the value of the string `s' to the stringbuf object.

The no argument version returns a basic_string if successful. The function with an argument has no return.
