Estimates the number of characters available for input in the associated character sequence. underflow() is guaranteed not to return Traits::eof() until at least that many characters are extracted.

[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
The number of characters that are certainly available in the associated character sequence, or -1 if showmanyc can determine, without blocking, that no characters are available. If showmanyc returns -1, underflow() and uflow() will definitely return Traits::eof.
The base class version returns 0, which has the meaning of "unsure if there are characters available in the associated sequence".
[edit] Notes
The name of this function stands for "stream: how many characters?", so it is pronounced "S how many C", rather than "show many C"
