     Here multichar_output_filter_tag is a category tag identifying the Filter as a multichar OutputFilter.
 

 

-    The Iostreams Library defines two convenience classes, multichar_output_filter and multichar_output_wfilter, which provide the member typedefs char_type and io_category as well as default implementations of several member functions.[3] When defining a new multichar OutputFilter, it is often sufficient to derive from multichar_output_filter or multichar_output_wfilter and to define a member function write.
