## Function erase_head_copy

boost::algorithm::erase_head_copy — Erase head algorithm.

## Synopsis

    template<typename OutputIteratorT, typename CollectionT>
      OutputIteratorT
      erase_head_copy(OutputIteratorT Output, const CollectionT & Input,
                      unsigned int N);
    template<typename SequenceT>
      SequenceT erase_head_copy(const SequenceT & Input, unsigned int N);

## Description

Remove the head from the input. The head is a prefix of a seqence of given size. If the sequence is shorter then required, the whole string is considered to be the head. The result is a modified copy of the input. It is returned as a sequence or copied to the output iterator.

Parameters

Input

  An input string

N

  Length of the head

Output

  An output iterator to which the result will be copied

Returns: An output iterator pointing just after the last inserted character or a modified copy of the input
Notes: The second variant of this function provides the strong exception-safety guarantee
