Description

A basic_istream class that uses a fixed size character buffer as its formatting buffer.

`basic_ibufferstream` public construct/copy/destruct

basic_ibufferstream(std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in);

Constructor. Does not throw.

basic_ibufferstream(const CharT * buf, std::size_t length, 
                    std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in);

Constructor. Assigns formatting buffer. Does not throw.

```
~basic_ibufferstream();
```

`basic_ibufferstream` public member functions

basic_bufferbuf< CharT, CharTraits > * rdbuf() const;

Returns the address of the stored stream buffer.

```
std::pair< const CharT *, std::size_t > buffer() const;
```
Returns the pointer and size of the internal buffer. Does not throw.
```
void buffer(const CharT * buf, std::size_t length);
```
Sets the underlying buffer to a new value. Resets stream position. Does not throw.
