protected member function
<streambuf> <iostream>

std::basic_streambuf::pbase

char_type* pbase() const;
Pointer to beginning of output sequence
Returns a pointer to the first element of the array with the portion of the controlled output sequence that is currently buffered.

Member functions can access this array directly; It is described by the pointers returned by the following protected member functions:

memberdescritpion
pbase()Beginning of the buffered part of the output sequence
pptr()Current position in the output sequence ("put pointer")
epptr()End of the buffered part of the output sequence

Parameters

none

Return Value

A pointer to the beginning of an array with the part of the controlled output sequence that is currently buffered.
Member type char_type is the type of the characters in the stream buffer (the first class template parameter).

Data races

Accesses the stream buffer object.
Concurrent access to the same stream buffer object may cause data races.

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the stream buffer.
