std::basic_filebuf is astd::basic_streambuf whose associated character sequence is a file. Both the input sequence and the output sequence are associated with the same file, and a joint file position is maintained for both operations. The restrictions on reading and writing a sequence withstd::basic_filebuf are the same asstd::FILEs.
The functionsunderflow() andoverflow() /sync() perform the actual I/O between the file and the get and put areas of the buffer. WhenCharT is notchar, most implementations store multibyte characters in the file and astd::codecvt facet is used to perform wide/multibyte character conversion.
Several typedefs for common character types are provided:
