Return a `string_view` containing the currently buffered sequence of characters. If this object was created only in input mode, the resultant `ViewType` contains the character sequence in the range `[eback(), egptr())]`. If `modeBitMask & ios_base::out` specified at construction is nonzero then the resultant `StringType` contains the character sequence in the range `[pbase(), high_mark)]`, where `high_mark` represents the position one past the highest initialized character in the buffer. Otherwise this object has been created in neither input nor output mode and a zero length `ViewType` is returned.
