:relfileprefix: ../
:mrdocs:

This `struct` template implements the `remove_pointer` meta‐function defined in the C++11 standard [meta.trans.ptr], providing an alias, `type`, that returns the result. If the (template parameter) `t_TYPE` is a (possibly cv‐qualified) pointer type, then `type` is an alias to the type pointed to by `t_TYPE`; otherwise, `type` is an alias to `t_TYPE`.
