1-4) Behaves as a FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, extracts an integer value by calling `std::num_get::get()`
5) Behaves as a FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, extracts a floating point value by calling `std::num_get::get()`
6) Behaves as a FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, extracts bool value by calling `std::num_get::get()`
7) Behaves as a FormattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, which may skip leading whitespace, extracts a generic pointer value by calling `std::num_get::get()`
8-10) Calls func(*this), where `func` is an I/O manipulator.
11) Behaves as an UnformattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, extracts all data from the input stream and stores it to `sb`. The extraction stops if one of the following conditions are met:

  - end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;
  - inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);
  - an exception occurs (in which case the exception is caught, and only rethrown if `failbit` is enabled in `exceptions()`).

In either case, stores the number of characters extracted in the member variable accessed by subsequent calls to gcount(). If `sb` is a null pointer or if no characters were inserted into `sb`, calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw std::ios_base::failure if enabled).

If extraction fails (e.g. if a letter was entered where a digit is expected), `value` is left unmodified and `failbit` is set. | (until C++11)
If extraction fails, zero is written to `value` and `failbit` is set. If extraction results in the value too large or too small to fit in `value`, std::numeric_limits <T>::max() or std::numeric_limits <T>::min() is written and `failbit` flag is set. | (since C++11)

### Parameters

value | - | reference to an integer or floating-point value to store the extracted value to
func | - | pointer to I/O manipulator function
sb | - | pointer to the streambuffer to write all the data to

### Return value

1-9,11) *this
10) func(*this)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <sstream>

    int main()
    {
        std::string input = "41 3.14 false hello world";
        std::istringstream stream(input);
        int n;
        double f;
        bool b;

        stream >> n >> f >> std::boolalpha >> b;
        std::cout << "n = " << n << '\n'
                  << "f = " << f << '\n'
                  << "b = " << std::boolalpha << b << '\n';

        // extract the rest using the streambuf overload
        stream >> std::cout.rdbuf();
        std::cout << '\n';
    }

Output:

    n = 41
    f = 3.14
    b = false
    hello world
