Description
Forward_iterator_tag is an empty class: it has no member functions, member variables, or nested types. It is used solely as a "tag": a representation of the ForwardIterator concept within the C++ type system. Specifically, it is used as a return value for the function iterator_category. iterator_category takes a single argument, an iterator, and returns an object whose type depends on the iterator's category. iterator_category's return value is of type forward_iterator_tag if its argument is a ForwardIterator.
Example
See iterator_category
