# qtextostream(3qt)

Convenience class for output streams

## NAME

QTextOStream - Convenience class for output streams

## SYNOPSIS

All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.\</p\>

`#include <qtextstream.h>`

Inherits QTextStream.

### Public Members

**QTextOStream ( QString \* s )**\
 **QTextOStream ( QByteArray ba )**\
 **QTextOStream ( FILE \* f )**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QTextOStream class is a convenience class for output streams.

This class provides a shorthand for creating simple output QTextStreams without having to pass a *mode* argument to the constructor.

This makes it easy for example, to write things like this:

```
    QString result;
    QTextOStream(&result) << "pi = " << 3.14;
```
