Unextracting the previous character.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslstl_istringstream.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
__istream_type&
unget();
----

== Description

If `rdbuf()` is not null, calls `rdbuf()‐>sungetc(c).`

If `rdbuf()` is null or if `sungetc()` fails, sets badbit in the error state.

[NOTE]
====
This function first clears eofbit. Since no characters are extracted, the next call to `gcount()` will return 0, as required by DR 60.

== Return Value

*this
