#
The class basic_­stringbuf is derived from basic_­streambuf to associate possibly the input sequence and possibly the output sequence with a sequence of arbitrary characters.
The sequence can be initialized from, or made available as, an object of class basic_­string.

#
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data and internal pointer initialization is presented here as:
  • (2.1)
    ios_­base​::​openmode mode, has in set if the input sequence can be read, and out set if the output sequence can be written.
  • (2.2)
    basic_­string<charT, traits, Allocator> buf contains the underlying character sequence.
  • (2.3)
    init_­buf_­ptrs() sets the base class' get area ([streambuf.get.area]) and put area ([streambuf.put.area]) pointers after initializing, moving from, or assigning to buf accordingly.
