2) Sets the associated stream buffer to

Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <sstream> int main() { std::ostringstream local; auto cout_buff = std::cout.rdbuf(); // save pointer to std::cout buffer std::cout.rdbuf(local.rdbuf()); // substitute internal std::cout buffer with // buffer of 'local' object // now std::cout work with 'local' buffer // you don't see this message std::cout << "some message"; // go back to old buffer std::cout.rdbuf(cout_buff); // you will see this message std::cout << "back to default buffer\n"; // print 'local' content std::cout << "local content: " << local.str() << "\n"; }
Output:
back to default buffer local content: some message
