Detailed Description

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>

class std::basic_streambuf< _CharT, _Traits >" The actual work of input and output (interface).

Template Parameters:

: _CharT Type of character stream.
_Traits Traits for character type, defaults to char_traits<_CharT>.

This is a base class. Derived stream buffers each control a pair of character sequences: one for input, and one for output.

Section [27.5.1] of the standard describes the requirements and behavior of stream buffer classes. That section (three paragraphs) is reproduced here, for simplicity and accuracy.

1.: Stream buffers can impose various constraints on the sequences they control. Some constraints are:
•: The controlled input sequence can be not readable.
•: The controlled output sequence can be not writable.
•: The controlled sequences can be associated with the contents of other representations for character sequences, such as external files.
•: The controlled sequences can support operations directly to or from associated sequences.
•: The controlled sequences can impose limitations on how the program can read characters from a sequence, write characters to a sequence, put characters back into an input sequence, or alter the stream position.

2.: Each sequence is characterized by three pointers which, if non-null, all point into the same charT array object. The array object represents, at any moment, a (sub)sequence of characters from the sequence. Operations performed on a sequence alter the values stored in these pointers, perform reads and writes directly to or from associated sequences, and alter the stream position and conversion state as needed to maintain this subsequence relationship. The three pointers are:
•: the beginning pointer, or lowest element address in the array (called xbeg here);
•: the next pointer, or next element address that is a current candidate for reading or writing (called xnext here);
•: the end pointer, or first element address beyond the end of the array (called xend here).

3.: The following semantic constraints shall always apply for any set of three pointers for a sequence, using the pointer names given immediately above:
•: If xnext is not a null pointer, then xbeg and xend shall also be non-null pointers into the same charT array, as described above; otherwise, xbeg and xend shall also be null.
•: If xnext is not a null pointer and xnext < xend for an output sequence, then a write position is available. In this case, *xnext shall be assignable as the next element to write (to put, or to store a character value, into the sequence).
•: If xnext is not a null pointer and xbeg < xnext for an input sequence, then a putback position is available. In this case, xnext[-1] shall have a defined value and is the next (preceding) element to store a character that is put back into the input sequence.
•: If xnext is not a null pointer and xnext< xend for an input sequence, then a read position is available. In this case, *xnext shall have a defined value and is the next element to read (to get, or to obtain a character value, from the sequence).
