std::basic_ostream::sentry

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <ostream>
template< class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> >
class std::basic_istream<charT,traits>::sentry

An object of class basic_ostream::sentry is constructed in local scope at the beginning of each member function of std::basic_ostream that performs output (both formatted and unformatted). Its constructor prepares the output stream: checks if the stream is already in a failed state, flushes the tie()'d output streams, and performs other implementation-defined tasks if necessary. Implementation-defined cleanup, as well as flushing of the output stream if necessary, is performed in the destructor, so that it is guaranteed to happen if exceptions are thrown during output.
