<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_REST_N</b> macro expands to a <i>list</i> of all but the first <i>count</i> elements of a <i>list</i>.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_LIST_REST_N</b>(<i>count</i>, <i>list</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>count</dt>
<dd>
The number of elements to remove from the beginning of <i>list</i>.
</dd>
<dt>list</dt>
<dd>
The <i>list</i> from which the elements are extracted.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
This macro removes <i>count</i> elements from the beginning of <i>list</i> and returns the remainder as a <i>list</i>
</div>
<div>
Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>.&nbsp;
There is no longer any such restriction.&nbsp;
It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_REST_N_D</b> in such a situation.
