class basic_managed_external_buffer {
public:
  // construct/copy/destruct

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

basic_managed_external_buffer(create_only_t, void * addr, std::size_t size);

Creates and places the segment manager. This can throw

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

basic_managed_external_buffer(unspecified moved);

basic_managed_external_buffer& operator=(unspecified moved);

`basic_managed_external_buffer` public member functions

```
void grow(std::size_t extra_bytes) ;
```
```
void swap(basic_managed_external_buffer & other) ;
```
Swaps the ownership of the managed heap memories managed by *this and other. Never throws.
