std::ostreambuf_iterator

template< class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> >
class ostreambuf_iterator : public std::iterator<std::output_iterator_tag,
                                                 void, void, void, void>

template< class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT> >
class ostreambuf_iterator;

std::ostreambuf_iterator is a single-pass LegacyOutputIterator that writes successive characters into the std::basic_streambuf object for which it was constructed. The actual write operation is performed when the iterator (whether dereferenced or not) is assigned to. Incrementing the std::ostreambuf_iterator is a no-op.

In a typical implementation, the only data members of std::ostreambuf_iterator are a pointer to the associated std::basic_streambuf and a boolean flag indicating if the the end of file condition has been reached.
