31.6 Stream buffers [stream.buffers]

31.6.3 Class template basic_streambuf [streambuf]

31.6.3.5 Virtual functions [streambuf.virtuals]

31.6.3.5.2 Buffer management and positioning [streambuf.virt.buffer]

basic_streambuf* setbuf(char_type* s, streamsize n);

Effects: Influences stream buffering in a way that is defined separately for each class derived from basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf.virtuals], [filebuf.virtuals]).

Default behavior: Does nothing.

Returns this.

pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
                 ios_base::openmode which
                  = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);

Effects: Alters the stream positions within one or more of the controlled sequences in a way that is defined separately for each class derived from basic_streambuf in this Clause ([stringbuf.virtuals], [filebuf.virtuals]).

Default behavior: Returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).

🔗

pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp,
                 ios_base::openmode which
                  = ios_base::in | ios_base::out);

Default behavior: Returns pos_type(off_type(-1)).

🔗

int sync();

Effects: Synchronizes the controlled sequences with the arrays.

That is, if pbase() is non-null the characters between pbase() and pptr() are written to the controlled sequence.

The pointers may then be reset as appropriate.

Returns: -1 on failure.

What constitutes failure is determined by each derived class ([filebuf.virtuals]).

Default behavior: Returns zero.
