Remarks Associates an object of a streambuf-derived class with this stream and, if necessary, deletes a dynamically created stream buffer object that was previously associated. The init function is useful in derived classes in conjunction with the protected default istream, ostream, and iostream constructors. An ios-derived class constructor can thus construct and attach its own pretermined stream buffer object. See Also ◄istream::istream►, ◄ostream::ostream►, ◄iostream::iostream► -♦-
