- <P>
- An OutputFilter is a <A HREF="filter.html">Filter</A> whose <A HREF="../guide/modes.html">mode</A> refines <A HREF="../guide/modes.html#output">output</A>.
- </P>
- <A NAME="description"></A>
- <H2>Description</H2>
- <P>
- An OutputFilter operates on the character sequence controlled by a <A HREF="sink.html">Sink</A>, providing access to a filtered sequence having the same character type. It may expose the filtered sequence in two ways:
- <OL>
- <LI STYLE="list-style-type:lower-roman">
- by defining a member function <CODE>put</CODE>
- </LI>
- <LI STYLE="list-style-type:lower-roman">
- by defining a member function <CODE>write</CODE>
- </OL>
- The second alternative is provided for enhanced performance. OutputFilters implementing this alternative are referred to as as <I>Multi-Character</I>. (<I>See</I> <A HREF="multi_character.html">Multi-Character Filter</A>.)
- </P>
- <A NAME="examples"></A>
- <H2>Examples</H2>
- <H4>I. Ordinary OutputFilter</H4>
- <P>
- The following example shows an OutputFilter which converts each character in a sequence to uppercase.

- The Iostreams library defines two convenience classes, <A HREF="../classes/filter.html#synopsis"><CODE>output_filter</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../classes/filter.html#synopsis"><CODE>output_wfilter</CODE></A>, which provide member <CODE>typedef</CODE>s <CODE>char_type</CODE> and <CODE>category</CODE> as well as default implementations of several member functions.

- <H2>Exceptions</H2>
- <P>
- Errors which occur during the execution of <CODE>put</CODE> or <CODE>write</CODE> are indicated by throwing exceptions. Attempting to write past the end of the sequence is always an error.
- </P>
- <P>
- After an exception is thrown, an OutputFilter must be in a consistent state; further i/o operations may throw exceptions but must have well-defined behaviour.Furthermore, unless it is <A HREF="closable.html">Closable</A>, it must be ready to begin processing a new character sequence.
