int sgetn( char* pch, int nCount );
Return Value
The number of characters fetched.
Parameters
pch
A pointer to a buffer that will receive characters from the streambuf object.
nCount
The number of characters to get.
Remarks
Gets the nCount characters that follow the get pointer and stores them in the area starting at pch. When fewer than nCount characters remain in the streambuf object, sgetn fetches whatever characters remain. The function repositions the get pointer to follow the fetched characters.
