std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>::read - cppreference.com

Extracts characters from stream.

Behaves as UnformattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, extracts characters and stores them into successive locations of the character array whose first element is pointed to by s. Characters are extracted and stored until any of the following conditions occurs:

[edit] Parameters s - pointer to the character array to store the characters to count - number of characters to read [edit] Return value

*this

[edit] Exceptionsfailure

if an error occurred (the error state flag is not

goodbit

) and

exceptions()

is set to throw for that state.

If an internal operation throws an exception, it is caught and badbit is set. If exceptions() is set for badbit, the exception is rethrown.

[edit] Notes

When using a non-converting locale (the default locale is non-converting), the overrider of this function in std::basic_ifstream may be optimized for zero-copy bulk I/O (by means of overriding std::streambuf::xsgetn).

[edit] Example
#include <cstdint>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    // read() is often used for binary I/O
    std::string bin = {'\x12', '\x12', '\x12', '\x12'};
    std::istringstream raw(bin);
    std::uint32_t n;
    if (raw.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&n), sizeof n))
        std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << n << '\n';
 
    // prepare file for next snippet
    std::ofstream("test.txt", std::ios::binary) << "abcd1\nabcd2\nabcd3";
 
    // read entire file into string
    if (std::ifstream is{"test.txt", std::ios::binary | std::ios::ate})
    {
        auto size = is.tellg();
        std::string str(size, '\0'); // construct string to stream size
        is.seekg(0);
        if (is.read(&str[0], size))
            std::cout << str << '\n';
    }
}

Output:

0x12121212
abcd1
abcd2
abcd3
