insert(
    xref:boost/urls/segments_base/iterator.adoc[iterator] before,
    core::string_view s);
----

== Description


This function inserts a segment
before the specified position.
Reserved characters in the segment are
automatically escaped.



All iterators that are equal to
`before` or come after are invalidated.

=== Complexity

Linear in `s.size() + this-&gt;url().encoded_resource().size()`.

=== Exception Safety

Strong guarantee.
Calls to allocate may throw.




== Return Value


An iterator to the inserted
segment.



== Parameters

|===
| Name | Description 

| *before*
| 
An iterator before which
the segment is inserted. This may
be equal to `end()`.

| *s*
| 
The segment to insert.
