class std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry"Performs setup work for input streams\&. 

Objects of this class are created before all of the standard extractors are run\&. It is responsible for \fIexception-safe prefix and suffix operations,\fP although only prefix actions are currently required by the standard\&.

.PP
\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fI__is\fP The input stream to guard\&. 
.br
\fI__noskipws\fP Whether to consume whitespace or not\&.
.RE
.PP
If the stream state is good (\fI__is\&.good()\fP is true), then the following actions are performed, otherwise the sentry state is false (\fInot okay\fP) and failbit is set in the stream state\&.

.PP
The sentry's preparatory actions are:

.PP
.IP "1." 4
if the stream is tied to an output stream, \fRis\&.tie()->flush()\fP is called to synchronize the output sequence
.IP "2." 4
if \fI__noskipws\fP is false, and \fRios_base::skipws\fP is set in \fRis\&.flags()\fP, the sentry extracts and discards whitespace characters from the stream\&. The currently imbued locale is used to determine whether each character is whitespace\&.
.PP

.PP
If the stream state is still good, then the sentry state becomes true (\fIokay\fP)\&.

\fBReturns\fP
.RS 4
The sentry state\&.
.RE
.PP
For ease of use, sentries may be converted to booleans\&. The return value is that of the sentry state (true == okay)\&.
