filebuf* rdbuf ( ) const;
Get the associated filebuf object
Returns a pointer to the filebuf object associated with the stream.

The example opens an input and an output file, then gets the pointers to their respective file buffers and performs operations on them to make a character-by-character copy of the input file.
