Specifies available formatting flags. It is a BitmaskType. The following constants are defined: 
| Constant | Explanation | 
| dec | use decimal base for integer I/O: see std::dec | 
| oct | use octal base for integer I/O: see std::oct | 
| hex | use hexadecimal base for integer I/O: see std::hex | 
| basefield | dec|oct|hex|0. Useful for masking operations | 
| left | left adjustment (adds fill characters to the right): see std::left | 
| right | right adjustment (adds fill characters to the left): see std::right | 
| internal | internal adjustment (adds fill characters to the internal designated point): see std::internal | 
| adjustfield | left|right|internal. Useful for masking operations | 
| scientific | generate floating point types using scientific notation, or hex notation if combined with fixed: see std::scientific | 
| fixed | generate floating point types using fixed notation, or hex notation if combined with scientific: see std::fixed | 
| floatfield | scientific|fixed|(scientific|fixed)|0. Useful for masking operations | 
| boolalpha | insert and extract bool type in alphanumeric format: see std::boolalpha | 
| showbase | generate a prefix indicating the numeric base for integer output, require the currency indicator in monetary I/O: see std::showbase | 
| showpoint | generate a decimal-point character unconditionally for floating-point number output: see std::showpoint | 
| showpos | generate a + character for non-negative numeric output: see std::showpos | 
| skipws | skip leading whitespace before certain input operations: see std::skipws | 
| unitbuf | flush the output after each output operation: see std::unitbuf | 
| uppercase | replace certain lowercase letters with their uppercase equivalents in certain output output operations: see std::uppercase | 
[edit] Example
The following example shows several different ways to print the same result.
#include <iostream> int main() { int num = 150; // using fmtflags as class member constants: std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::hex, std::ios_base::basefield); std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::showbase); std::cout << num << '\n'; // using fmtflags as inherited class member constants: std::cout.setf (std::ios::hex , std::ios::basefield); std::cout.setf (std::ios::showbase); std::cout << num << '\n'; // using fmtflags as object member constants: std::cout.setf(std::cout.hex, std::cout.basefield); std::cout.setf(std::cout.showbase); std::cout << num << '\n'; // using fmtflags as a type: std::ios_base::fmtflags ff; ff = std::cout.flags(); ff &= ~std::cout.basefield; // unset basefield bits ff |= std::cout.hex; // set hex ff |= std::cout.showbase; // set showbase std::cout.flags(ff); std::cout << num << '\n'; // not using fmtflags, but using manipulators: std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << num << '\n'; }
Output:
0x96 0x96 0x96 0x96 0x96
