boost::interprocess::basic_managed_external_buffer

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/interprocess/managed_external_buffer.hpp>

    template<typename CharType, typename AllocationAlgorithm,
             template< class IndexConfig > class IndexType>
    class basic_managed_external_buffer {
    public:
      // construct/copy/destruct
      basic_managed_external_buffer();
      basic_managed_external_buffer(create_only_t, void *, std::size_t);
      basic_managed_external_buffer(open_only_t, void *, std::size_t);
      basic_managed_external_buffer(basic_managed_external_buffer &&);
      basic_managed_external_buffer& operator=(basic_managed_external_buffer &&);

      // public member functions
      void grow(std::size_t) ;
      void swap(basic_managed_external_buffer &&) ;
    };

## Description

A basic user memory named object creation class. Inherits all basic functionality from basic_managed_memory_impl<CharType, AllocationAlgorithm, IndexType>

### `basic_managed_external_buffer` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     basic_managed_external_buffer();

   Default constructor. Does nothing. Useful in combination with move semantics

2.     basic_managed_external_buffer(create_only_t, void * addr, std::size_t size);

3.     basic_managed_external_buffer(open_only_t, void * addr, std::size_t size);

4.     basic_managed_external_buffer(basic_managed_external_buffer && moved);

5.     basic_managed_external_buffer&
       operator=(basic_managed_external_buffer && moved);

### `basic_managed_external_buffer` public member functions

1.     void grow(std::size_t extra_bytes) ;

2.     void swap(basic_managed_external_buffer && other) ;

   Swaps the ownership of the managed heap memories managed by *this and other. Never throws.
