## Description

A streambuf class that controls the transmission of elements to and from a basic_xbufferstream. The elements are transmitted from a to a fixed size buffer

### `basic_bufferbuf` public member functions

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

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

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

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