    class ostream_iterator

The template class describes an output iterator object. It inserts objects of class U into an output stream, which it accesses via an object it stores, of type pointer to basic_ostream<``E``, ``T``>. It also stores a pointer to a delimiter string, a null-terminated string of elements of type E, which is appended after each insertion. (Note that the string itself is not copied by the constructor.)
