## Description

Implementation of a reading pipe stream.

### `basic_ipstream` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     basic_ipstream();

   Default constructor.

2.     basic_ipstream(const basic_ipstream &) = delete;

   Copy constructor.

3.     basic_ipstream(basic_ipstream && lhs);

   Move constructor.

4.     basic_ipstream(pipe_type && p);

   Move construct from a pipe.

5.     basic_ipstream(const pipe_type & p);

   Copy construct from a pipe.

6.     basic_ipstream & operator=(const basic_ipstream &) = delete;

   Copy assignment.

7.     basic_ipstream & operator=(basic_ipstream && lhs);

   Move assignment.

8.     basic_ipstream & operator=(pipe_type && p);

   Move assignment of a pipe.

9.     basic_ipstream & operator=(const pipe_type & p);

   Copy assignment of a pipe.

### `basic_ipstream` public member functions

1.     basic_pipebuf< CharT, Traits > * rdbuf() const;

   Get access to the underlying stream_buf.

2.     void pipe(pipe_type && p);

   Set the pipe of the streambuf.

3.     void pipe(const pipe_type & p);

   Set the pipe of the streambuf.

4.     pipe_type & pipe();

   Get a reference to the pipe.

5.     const pipe_type & pipe() const;

   Get a const reference to the pipe.

6.     pipe_type && pipe();

   Get a rvalue reference to the pipe. Qualified as rvalue.
