Original:

unary_function is a base class for creating function objects with one argument.

Original:

unary_function does not define operator(); it is expected that derived classes will define this. unary_function provides only two types - argument_type and result_type - defined by the template parameters.

Original:

Some standard library function object adaptors, such as std::not1, require the function objects they adapt to have certain types defined; std::not1 requires the function object being adapted to have a type named argument_type. Deriving function objects that take one argument from unary_function is an easy way to make them compatible with those adaptors.

unary_function is deprecated in C++11. Its functionality has been made obsolete by std::function.
