5.2 Understanding the Architecture of a Portal Stream

Like other iostream classes, the portal stream classes use an object derived from a Standard C++ Library streambuf for buffering and final input and output of the byte stream. The RWPortalStreambuf class used by the portal streams contains an RWPortal. The portal stream class does the formatting, the streambuf buffers the data, and finally the portal object is responsible for requesting or passing bytes to a communications channel. Figure 7 is an object diagram that shows how this data flow works.
