<P>The class <B><I>strstream</I></B> reads and writes to an array in memory. It uses a private <B><I><A HREF="strstreambuf.html">strstreambuf</A></I></B> object to control the associated array. It inherits from <B><I><A HREF="basic-iostream.html">basic_iostream</A></I></B> and therefore can use all the formatted and unformatted output and input functions.</P>
