──The Microsoft iostream Classes────────────────────────────────────────────
 
  Description
 
  The run-time library supports three conceptual sets of I/O functions:
  iostreams (C++ only), standard I/O (the functions declared in STDIO.H),
  and low-level I/O (the functions declared in IO.H). The stdiobuf class
  is a derived class of streambuf that is specialized for buffering to and
  from the standard I/O system.
 
  Because the standard I/O system does its own internal buffering, the
  extra buffering level provided by stdiobuf may reduce overall
  input/output efficiency. The stdiobuf class is useful when you need to
  mix iostream I/O with standard I/O (printf and so forth).
 
  You can avoid use of the stdiobuf class if you use the filebuf class.
  You must also use the stream class's ios::flags member function to set
  the ios::stdio format flag value.
