Returns the number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input operation performed on the object.
The unformatted input operations that modify the value returned by this function are those performed by the following member functions:
get,
getline,
ignore,
peek,
read,
readsome,
putback and
unget.
Notice though, that
peek,
putback and
unget do not extract characters. So
gcount will always return zero after a call to any of these.
Parameters
none
Return Value

streamsize with the number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input operation.
