as_rvalue_view presents a view of an underlying sequence
with the same behavior as the underlying sequence
except that its elements are rvalues[.](#overview-1.sentence-1)

Some generic algorithms can be called with an as_rvalue_view to replace copying with moving[.](#overview-1.sentence-2)

The name views​::​as_rvalue denotes
a range adaptor object ([[range.adaptor.object]](range.adaptor.object "25.7.2 Range adaptor objects"))[.](#overview-2.sentence-1)

Let E be an expression and let T be decltype((E))[.](#overview-2.sentence-2)

The expression views​::​as_rvalue(E) is expression-equivalent to:

- [(2.1)](#overview-2.1)

  views​::​all(E) ifT models [input_range](range.refinements#concept:input_range "25.4.6 Other range refinements [range.refinements]") and[same_as](concept.same#concept:same_as "18.4.2 Concept same_­as [concept.same]")<range_rvalue_reference_t<T>, range_reference_t<T>> is true[.](#overview-2.1.sentence-1)

- [(2.2)](#overview-2.2)

  Otherwise, as_rvalue_view(E)[.](#overview-2.2.sentence-1)

[*Example [1](#overview-example-1)*: vector<string> words = {"the", "quick", "brown", "fox", "ate", "a", "pterodactyl"};
vector<string> new_words;
ranges::copy(words | views::as_rvalue, back_inserter(new_words)); // moves each string from words into new_words — *end example*]
