When syncronization is on, the iostream standard stream objects (cin, cout, cerr, clog, and their wide versions wcin, wcout, wcerr and wclog) are synchronized with their C standard counterparts: stdin, stdout and stderr.
With stdio synchronization turned off, iostream standard stream objects may operate independently of the standard C streams.
By default, the standard iostream and cstdio streams are synchronized.
Notice that this is a static member function, therefore a call to this function using the member of any object (or of any related class) toggles on or off synchronization for all standard iostream objects.
Parameters
- sync
- Boolean parameter indicating whether synchronization is to be turned on or off: With a value of true it turns synchronization on, while a value of false turns it off.
