Class template move_sentinel is a sentinel adaptor useful for denoting
ranges together with move_iterator[.](#1.sentence-1)

When an input iterator typeI and sentinel type S model [sentinel_for](iterator.concept.sentinel#concept:sentinel_for "24.3.4.7 Concept sentinel_­for [iterator.concept.sentinel]")<S, I>,move_sentinel<S> and move_iterator<I> model[sentinel_for](iterator.concept.sentinel#concept:sentinel_for "24.3.4.7 Concept sentinel_­for [iterator.concept.sentinel]")<move_sentinel<S>, move_iterator<I>> as well[.](#1.sentence-2)

[*Example [1](#example-1)*:

A move_if algorithm is easily implemented withcopy_if using move_iterator and move_sentinel:template<[input_iterator](iterator.concept.input#concept:input_iterator "24.3.4.9 Concept input_­iterator [iterator.concept.input]") I, [sentinel_for](iterator.concept.sentinel#concept:sentinel_for "24.3.4.7 Concept sentinel_­for [iterator.concept.sentinel]")<I> S, [weakly_incrementable](iterator.concept.winc#concept:weakly_incrementable "24.3.4.4 Concept weakly_­incrementable [iterator.concept.winc]") O, [indirect_unary_predicate](indirectcallable.indirectinvocable#concept:indirect_unary_predicate "24.3.6.3 Indirect callables [indirectcallable.indirectinvocable]")<I> Pred>requires [indirectly_movable](alg.req.ind.move#concept:indirectly_movable "24.3.7.2 Concept indirectly_­movable [alg.req.ind.move]")<I, O>void move_if(I first, S last, O out, Pred pred) { ranges::copy_if(move_iterator<I>{std::move(first)}, move_sentinel<S>{last},
 std::move(out), pred);}
