Description

  The objects instatiated from this class associate an input and an output sequence with a file, allowing the input and output functionality of streams to be performed on files.
  Every object of this class controls both an input and an output sequence, although some sequence may be restricted depending on the openmode used to open the file with member function open.
  Once an open file is closed (member close) the filebuf object may be used to open other files.
  The state of the filebuf object -wether a file is open or not- may be tested by calling member is_open.
  This class overrides some virtual members inherited from streambuf to provide a specific functionality adapted to file manipulation. Plese refer to parent class streambuf for more information on streambuf-derived objects.
