stdiobuf(3C++)                                        stdiobuf(3C++)


       NAME
             stdiobuf - iostream specialized to stdio FILE

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <iostream.h>
             #include <stdiostream.h>
             #include <stdio.h>

             class stdiobuf : public streambuf {
                         stdiobuf(FILE* f);
                   FILE* stdiofile();
             };

       DESCRIPTION
             Operations on a stdiobuf are reflected in the associated FILE.
             A stdiobuf is constructed in unbuffered mode, which causes all
             operations to be reflected immediately in the FILE.  seekg()s
             and seekp()s are translated into fseek()s.  setbuf() has its
             usual meaning; if it supplies a reserve area, buffering will
             be turned back on.

       USAGE
             stdiobuf is intended to be used when mixing C and C++ code.
             New C++ code should prefer to use filebufs, which have better
             performance.
