filebuf::setbuf


virtual protected member function
streambuf* setbuf ( char* s, streamsize n);

Set buffer

This member is called to set a new memory buffer for the streambuf object. If both parameters are zero, and no input/output operation has yet taken place on this stream, the stream becomes unbuffered.

The inherited public member function pubsetbuf calls this overriden protected member function to perform this action.

Parameters

s
Pointer to an array of n characters already allocated in memory.
n
Length in characters of the buffer pointed by s.
This is an integer value of type streamsize.


Return Value

The function returns the pointer this.
