#### io_service::wrap

Create a new handler that automatically dispatches the wrapped handler on the io_service.

    template<
        typename Handler>
    unspecified wrap(
        Handler handler);

This function is used to create a new handler function object that, when invoked, will automatically pass the wrapped handler to the io_service's dispatch function.

###### Parameters

handler

  The handler to be wrapped. The io_service will make a copy of the handler object as required. The function signature of the handler must be:

      void handler(A1 a1, ... An an);

###### Return Value

A function object that, when invoked, passes the wrapped handler to the io_service's dispatch function. Given a function object with the signature:

    R f(A1 a1, ... An an);

If this function object is passed to the wrap function like so:

    io_service.wrap(f);

then the return value is a function object with the signature

    void g(A1 a1, ... An an);

that, when invoked, executes code equivalent to:

    io_service.dispatch(boost::bind(f, a1, ... an));
