  ostrstream();
  ostrstream( char* pch, int nLength, int nMode = ios::out );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <pch>       A character array that is large enough to accommodate future
              output stream activity.
 
  <nLength>   The size (in characters) of <pch>. If 0, then <pch> is
              assumed to point to a null-terminated array and strlen(
              <pch> ) is used as the length; if less than 0, then the
              array is assumed to have infinite length.
 
  <nMode>     The stream-creation mode. Must be one of the following
              enumerators as defined in class ios:
 
              Value      Meaning
 
              ios::out   Default; storing begins at <pch>
 
              ios::ate   The <pch> parameter is assumed to be a
                         null-terminated array; storing begins at the NULL
                         character
 
              ios::app   Same as ios::ate
 
  Remarks
 
  The first constructor makes an ostrstream object that uses an internal,
  dynamic buffer.
 
  The second constructor makes an ostrstream object out of the first
  <nLength> characters of the <pch> buffer. The stream will not accept
  characters once the length reaches <nLength>.
