<H2>Description</H2>

<P>
    A DualUseFilter is a Filter which can act as an <A HREF="input_filter.html">InputFilter</A> or as an <A HREF="output_filter.html">OutputFilter</A>, but not as both simultaneously. 
</P>
<P>
    DualUseFilters help reduce the number of different Filter types required to implement a particlar filtering algorithm. For example, by implementing <A HREF="../classes/regex_filter.html"><CODE>basic_regex_filter</CODE></A> as a DualUseFilter, the Iostreams library avoids having to define separate templates <CODE>basic_regex_input_filter</CODE> and <CODE>basic_regex_output_filter</CODE>.
