little explanation needed

Can someone, please, explain what these lines of code do?

string slurp(fstream& in) 
{
	std::string content((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(in)),
		(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>()));
	return content;

Looks like it takes a file stream, puts the contents into a string, and then returns the string.

Take a look at all of the std::string constructor overloads:
