Any way to cout in base64?

Question

I know I could use itoa to create a base64 string, just wondered if there was an easy way to cout a number in base64 the same way cout << hex sets a flag to display integral values in hex...

There isn't a built-in way (setbase only accepts 8, 10, 16 as parameters). You'll have to write your own stream manipulator.
