The class describes the storage and member functions common to both input and output streams that do not depend on the template parameters. (The template class basic_ios describes what is common and is dependent on template parameters.)

An object of class ios_base stores formatting information, which consists of:

• Format flags in an object of type fmtflags
• An exception mask in an object of type iostate
• A field width in an object of type int
• A display precision in an object of type int
• A locale object in an object of type locale
• Two extensible arrays, with elements of type long and void pointer

An object of class ios_base also stores stream state information, in an object of type iostate, and a callback stack.
