public member function
<map>
const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept;
Return const_iterator to beginning
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the first element in the container.
A const_iterator is an iterator that points to const content. This iterator can be increased and decreased (unless it is itself also const), just like the iterator returned by multimap::begin, but it cannot be used to modify the contents it points to, even if the multimap object is not itself const.
If the container is empty, the returned iterator value shall not be dereferenced.
Return Value
A const_iterator to the beginning of the sequence.
Member type const_iterator is a bidirectional iterator type that points to const elements (of type const value_type).
Notice that value_type in multimap containers is an alias of pair<const key_type, mapped_type>.

// multimap::cbegin/cend
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
int main ()
{
std::multimap<char,int> mymultimap = { {'x',100}, {'y',200}, {'x',300} };
// print content:
std::cout << "mymultimap contains:";
for (auto it = mymultimap.cbegin(); it != mymultimap.cend(); ++it)
std::cout << " [" << it->first << ':' << it->second << ']';
std::cout << '\n';
return 0;
}

Output:
mymultimap contains: [x:100] [x:300] [y:200]

Iterator validity
No changes.
Data races
The container is accessed.
No contained elements are accessed by the call, but the iterator returned can be used to access them. Concurrently accessing or modifying different elements is safe.
Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
The copy construction or assignment of the returned iterator is also guaranteed to never throw.
