             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);

## 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);

   Creates and places the segment manager. This can throw.

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

   Creates and places the segment manager. This can throw.

4.     basic_managed_external_buffer(basic_managed_external_buffer && moved);

   Moves the ownership of "moved"'s managed memory to *this. Does not throw.

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

   Moves the ownership of "moved"'s managed memory to *this. Does not throw.

### `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.
