59 * Writes text into a TextOutputStream.
61 * This class provides more formatting and line-oriented writing capabilities
62 * than writing raw strings into the stream.

65 * underlying stream throws.

73 /*! \brief
74 * Convenience method for writing a file from a string in a single call.
76 * \param[in] filename Name of the file to read.
77 * \param[in] text String to write to \p filename.
78 * \throws std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
79 * \throws FileIOError on any I/O error.
81 * If \p filename exists, it is overwritten.

86 /*! \brief
87 * Creates a writer that writes to specified file.
89 * \param[in] filename Path to the file to open.
90 * \throws std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
91 * \throws FileIOError on any I/O error.
93 * This constructor is provided for convenience for writing directly to
94 * a file, without the need to construct multiple objects.
96 explicit TextWriter(const std::string &filename);
97 /*! \brief
98 * Creates a writer that writes to specified file.
100 * \param[in] fp File handle to write to.
101 * \throws std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
102 * \throws FileIOError on any I/O error.
104 * This constructor is provided for interoperability with C-like code
105 * for writing directly to an already opened file, without the need to
106 * construct multiple objects.
108 * The caller is responsible of closing \p fp; it is not allowed to
109 * call close() on the writer.
111 explicit TextWriter(FILE *fp);
112 /*! \brief
113 * Creates a writer that writes to specified stream.
115 * \param[in] stream Stream to write to.
116 * \throws std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
118 * The caller is responsible of the lifetime of the stream (should
119 * remain in existence as long as the writer exists).
121 * This constructor is provided for convenience for cases where the
122 * stream is not allocated with `new` and/or not managed by a
123 * std::shared_ptr (e.g., if the stream is an object on the stack).

126 /*! \brief
127 * Creates a writer that writes to specified stream.
129 * \param[in] stream Stream to write to.
130 * \throws std::bad_alloc if out of memory.
132 * The writer keeps a reference to the stream, so the caller can pass
133 * in a temporary if necessary.

176 /*! \brief
177 * Ensures that the next string written starts after an empty line.
179 * Always terminates the current line (as with ensureLineBreak()), but
180 * the empty line is only written out when the next line is written,
181 * so that trailing newlines after final output can be avoided.
183 * If nothing has been written using the writer, this method does
184 * nothing.
