<H2>Description</H2>
<P>
Given a Filter or Device that provides access to a single character sequence, we can construct a second Filter or Device which provides access to contiguous subsequence of the the original sequence. This second Filter or Device is called a <I>restriction</I> of the original device. Restrictions are represented by instances of the class template <CODE>restriction</CODE>. The function template <CODE>resrict</CODE> is an <A HREF='http://www.boost.org/more/generic_programming.html#object_generator' TARGET='_top'>object generator</A> which returns an appropriate instance of <CODE>resriction</CODE> when passed a Filter or Device and a pair of values indicating the endpoints of the restricted subsequence.
</P>
<P>
The <A HREF='../guide/modes.html'>mode</A> of a <CODE>resriction</CODE> is the same as that of the underlying component. A <CODE>resriction</CODE> is <A HREF='../concepts/closable.html'>Closable</A>, <A HREF='../concepts/flushable.html'>Flushable</A>, <A HREF='../concepts/localizable.html'>Localizable</A> and <A HREF='../concepts/optimally_buffered.html'>OptimallyBuffered</A>.
</P>
<P>
The function template <a href="slice.html"><code>slice</code></a> is available as an alias of <code>restrict</code>, for platforms that treat <code>restrict</code> as a keyword.
