Computing
* Data buffer, memory used temporarily to store output or input data while it is transferred. Also called: Buffer (computer science)
"A region of storage used to hold data. IO facilities often store input (or output) in a buffer and read or write the buffer independently from actions in the program. Output buffers can be explicitly flushed to force the buffer to be written. By default, reading cin flushes cout; cout is also flushed when the program ends normally." (CppPrmLp 2012)
