Name

output_iterator_tag class — Tag for an output iterator

Synopsis

struct output_iterator_tag {};

Use the output_iterator_tag class as the iterator category when declaring a new output iterator class. When writing a generic algorithm or similar function, you can use the iterator’s category to write specialized implementations for different kinds of iterators. See Example 13-19 (under the distance function template).
