uflow() vs underflow()

The std::streambuf class defines both of these functions as virtual, and
they are apparently meant to be overloaded in derived classes to get
more characters from an input sequence. Could someone explain what the
difference between the two is, please?

underflow doesn't consume characters while uflow does.
