  void freeze( int n = 1 );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <n>         A 0 value permits automatic deletion of the current array
              and also its automatic growth (if it is dynamic); a nonzero
              value prevents deletion.
 
  Remarks
 
  If a strstreambuf object has a dynamic array, then memory is usually
  deleted on destruction and size adjustment. The freeze function provides
  a means of preventing that automatic deletion. Once an array is frozen,
  no further input or output is permitted. The results of such operations
  are undefined.
 
  The freeze function can also unfreeze a frozen buffer.
