23.5.3.10 Class template move_­sentinel [move.sentinel]

Class template move_­sentinel is a sentinel adaptor useful for denoting ranges together with move_­iterator.
When an input iterator type I and sentinel type S model sentinel_­for<S, I>, move_­sentinel<S> and move_­iterator<I> model sentinel_­for<move_­sentinel<S>, move_­iterator<I>> as well.
[Example 1:
A move_­if algorithm is easily implemented with copy_­if using move_­iterator and move_­sentinel: template<input_­iterator I, sentinel_­for<I> S, weakly_­incrementable O, indirect_­unary_­predicate<I> Pred> requires indirectly_­movable<I, O> void move_if(I first, S last, O out, Pred pred) { std::ranges::copy_if(move_iterator<I>{first}, move_sentinel<S>{last}, out, pred); }
