 ### Remarks
 
-The first constructor initializes the base class by calling `basic_istream]( sb )`, where `sb` is the stored object of class `basic_stringbuf< Elem, Tr, Alloc>`. It also initializes `sb` by calling `basic_stringbuf< Elem, Tr, Alloc >( _Mode | ios_base::in )`. For more information, see [`basic_istream`](../standard-library/basic-istream-class.md) and [`basic_stringbuf`](../standard-library/basic-stringbuf-class.md).
