it appears from

/**
* @brief Base constructor.

* Only called from derived constructors, and sets up all the

* basic_streambuf class description. Note that, as a result,

basic_streambuf()
: _M_in_beg(0), _M_in_cur(0), _M_in_end(0),
_M_out_beg(0), _M_out_cur(0), _M_out_end(0),
_M_buf_locale(locale())
{ }
that the streambuf class must be derived from to be used. it doesn't have the
kind of constructor I had hoped. I see no examples anywhere on how to use
streambuf. and I have not done c++ at this level, so I am thinking about giving
up, at least for now. and stackoverflow.com is copyrighted.
why is it SO DIFFICULT to do this?
everyone wants to do unicode streams. I can't do graphic block shade characters
without this (what's shown in the code) for graphs and TUIs.
