What are the characteristics of the getline function in C++?

The getline function in C++ has the following characteristics:

1. The getline function is used to read an entire line of data from the input stream until it encounters a newline character (‘ \ n ‘).
2. The getline function can read strings containing spaces without considering them as delimiters.
3. The getline function stores the data read line by line into a string object, which can be a C-style string (char array) or a C++-style string (string object).
4. The getline function automatically ignores the newline character (‘\n’) and does not add it to the stored string.
5. The getline function allows for specifying the maximum number of characters to read, including spaces, any characters beyond the specified length will be truncated or discarded.
6. The getline function returns the status of the input stream. It returns true if it successfully reads a line of data and false if it encounters the end of the file or an error.
