<p>
        The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code> class
        is derived from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">streambuf</span></code> to associate the streambuf's
        input and output sequences with one or more character arrays. These character
        arrays are internal to the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code>
        object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them
        to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output
        sequence of a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code>
        object are appended to the input sequence of the same object.
      </p>
<p>
        The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code> class's
        public interface is intended to permit the following implementation strategies:
      </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
            A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary
            to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is
            the implementation approach currently used in Asio.
          </li>
<li class="listitem">
            A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the
            same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence
            to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.
          </li>
<li class="listitem">
            A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional
            character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes
            in the size of the character sequence.
          </li>
</ul></div>
<p>
        The constructor for <a class="link" href="basic_streambuf.html" title="basic_streambuf"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code></a> accepts a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size_t</span></code> argument specifying the maximum
        of the sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During
        the lifetime of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code>
        object, the following invariant holds:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">size</span><span class="special">()</span> <span class="special">&lt;=</span> <span class="identifier">max_size</span><span class="special">()</span>
</pre>
<p>
        Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be
        violated shall throw an exception of class <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">length_error</span></code>.
      </p>
<p>
        The constructor for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code>
        takes an Allocator argument. A copy of this argument is used for any memory
        allocation performed, by the constructor and by all member functions, during
        the lifetime of each <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">basic_streambuf</span></code>
        object.
