<P>The class <B><I>ostrstream</I></B> 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 object. It inherits from <B><I><A HREF="basic-ostream.html">basic_ostream</A></I></B>, and therefore can use all the formatted and unformatted output functions.</P>
