std::basic_streambuf::pbump(3)

NAME
std::basic_streambuf::pbump - std::basic_streambuf::pbump

Synopsis
   protected:
   void pbump( int count );
   Repositions the put pointer (pptr()) by count characters, where count may be
   positive or negative. No checks are done for moving the pointer outside the put area
   [pbase(), epptr()).
   If the pointer is advanced and then overflow() is called to flush the put area to
   the associated character sequence, the effect is that extra count characters with
   undefined values are output.

Parameters
   count - number to add to the put pointer

Return value
   (none)

Notes
   Because this function takes an int, it cannot manipulate buffers larger than
   std::numeric_limits<int>::max() characters (LWG issue 255).

Example
// Run this code
 #include <fstream>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 struct showput_streambuf : std::filebuf
 {
     using std::filebuf::pbump; // expose protected
     std::string showput() const
     {
         return std::string(pbase(), pptr());
     }
 };
 int main()
 {
     showput_streambuf mybuf;
     mybuf.open("test.txt", std::ios_base::out);
     std::ostream str(&mybuf);
     str << "This is a test" << std::flush << "1234";
     std::cout << "The put area contains: " << mybuf.showput() << '\n';
     mybuf.pbump(10);
     std::cout << "after pbump(10), it contains " << mybuf.showput() << '\n';
 }

Output:
 The put area contains: 1234
 after pbump(10), it contains 1234 is a test
