'printf' has a '%a' conversion for floating-point output:
The `%a' and `%A' conversions are meant for representing floating-point numbers exactly in textual form so that they can be exchanged as texts between different programs and/or machines. The numbers are represented is the form [`-']`0x'H`.'HHH`p'[`+'|`-']DD.
For example, printing '123456' with "|%13.4a|" produces
| 0x1.e240p+16|
I've looked through Josuttis and the header files, but I can't find
any flags or manipulators that could handle this. Is this possible
with stream I/O?
Supplementary question: does anyone know how to search for a '%a' in
Google groups?
Thanks -

The %a and %A conversion specifiers are new in C99. C++ is based on C90,
so as it stands now, it doesn't have them. TR1 adds them, and that's one
of the parts of TR1 that's been added to the working draft for the next
version of the C++ standard.
But in practice, if your C library supports them, they'll work in C++, too.

Right. Our current product, which includes full TR1 support, also provides
the manipulator hexfloat, so you can insert hexadecimal format
floating-point
values into a stream. As Pete says, both %a in printf and hexfloat in
iostreams are part of TR1 and will be part of the next C++ Standard.
