## Description

A basic_iostream class that uses a fixed size character buffer as its formatting buffer.

### `basic_bufferstream` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     basic_bufferstream(std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out);

   Constructor. Does not throw.

2.     basic_bufferstream(CharT * buffer, std::size_t length,
                          std::ios_base::openmode mode = std::ios_base::in|std::ios_base::out);

   Constructor. Assigns formatting buffer. Does not throw.

3.     ~basic_bufferstream();

### `basic_bufferstream` public member functions

1.     basic_bufferbuf< CharT, CharTraits > * rdbuf() const;

   Returns the address of the stored stream buffer.

2.     std::pair< CharT *, std::size_t > buffer() const;

   Returns the pointer and size of the internal buffer. Does not throw.

3.     void buffer(CharT * buffer, std::size_t length);

   Sets the underlying buffer to a new value. Resets stream position. Does not throw.
