<H2>Description</H2>
<P>
The class template <CODE>inverse</CODE> is an adapter which transforms an <A HREF='../concepts/input_filter.html'>InputFilter</A> into an <A HREF='../concepts/output_filter.html'>OutputFilter</A> or <I>vice versa</I>. The function template <CODE>invert</CODE> is an <A HREF='http://www.boost.org/more/generic_programming.html#object_generator' TARGET='_top'>object generator</A> which when passed a Filter returns a instance of an appropriate specialization of <CODE>inverse</CODE>.
</P>
<P>Given an <A HREF='../concepts/input_filter.html'>InputFilter</A> <CODE>f</CODE>, the inverse of <CODE>f</CODE> is <A HREF='../concepts/multi_character.html'>Multi-Character</A> <A HREF='../concepts/output_filter.html'>OutputFilter</A> whose member function <CODE>write</CODE> is implemented as follows. Given a <A HREF='../concepts/sink.html'>Sink</A> <CODE>snk</CODE> and a character buffer <CODE>s</CODE> of length <CODE>n</CODE>, we
</P>
<UL>
<LI>construct a <A HREF='../concepts/source.html'>Source</A> based on the buffer <CODE>s</CODE> and <A HREF='compose.html'><CODE>compose</CODE></A> it with <CODE>f</CODE> to form a Source, then
<LI>repeatedly read sequences of characters from the composite Source and write them to <CODE>snk</CODE> until the buffer <CODE>s</CODE> is exhausted.
</UL>
<P>Similarly, given an <A HREF='../concepts/output_filter.html'>OutputFilter</A> <CODE>f</CODE>, the inverse of <CODE>f</CODE> is <A HREF='../concepts/multi_character.html'>Multi-Character</A> <A HREF='../concepts/input_filter.html'>InputFilter</A> whose member function <CODE>read</CODE> is implemented as follows. Given a <A HREF='../concepts/source.html'>Source</A> <CODE>src</CODE> and a character buffer <CODE>s</CODE> of length <CODE>n</CODE>, we
</P>
<UL>
<LI>construct a <A HREF='../concepts/sink.html'>Sink</A> based on the buffer <CODE>s</CODE> and <A HREF='compose.html'><CODE>compose</CODE></A> it with <CODE>f</CODE> to form a Sink, then
<LI>repeatedly read sequences of characters from <CODE>src</CODE> and write them to the composite Sink until the buffer <CODE>s</CODE> is full.
</UL>
<P>
The <A HREF='../guide/modes.html'>mode</A> of a specialization of <CODE>inverse</CODE> is equal to <A HREF='../guide/modes.html#output'>output</A> if the mode of the underlying filter refines input, and to <A HREF='../guide/modes.html#input'>input</A> otherwise.
