Fetches more data from the controlled sequence.

underflow();Informally, this function is called when the input buffer is exhausted (or does not exist, as buffering need not actually be done). If a buffer exists, it is refilled. In either case, the next available character is returned, or traits::eof() to indicate a null pending sequence.
For a formal definition of the pending sequence, see a good text such as Langer & Kreft, or [27.5.2.4.3]/7-14.
A functioning input streambuf can be created by overriding only this function (no buffer area will be used). For an example, see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/streambufs.html
Base class version does nothing, returns eof().
The first character from the pending sequence.
