FBB::lm(3bobcat)					      OFoldStream manipulator						  FBB::lm(3bobcat)

NAME

       FBB::lm - Manipulator setting left margins of OFoldStream objects

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/ofoldstream> or
       #include <bobcat/ofoldstreambuf>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       The lm class implements a manipulator that can be inserted into OFoldStream objects to set the stream's left margin to a requested value.

       Depending  on  the  tab-setting	of  the  OFoldStream  the  inserted value represents the number of blank space characters or the number of
       tab-characters that will be used for the left margin.

       The request will be processed at the next newline character or std::flush or std::endl manipulator that is inserted into the stream.  If  a
       line is still once an lm object and a flush manipulator are inserted into the stream then the new left margin will be effective at the next
       word inserted into that line (cf., the example section below).

       A bad_cast exception is thrown when the manipulator is inserted into an ostream that is not using a OFoldStreambuf buffer.

";
	       return 0;
