true if *this is the only shared_ptr instance managing the current object, false otherwise.

[edit] Example

#include <memory> 
#include <iostream> 
 
int main() 
{ 
    std::shared_ptr<int> sp1 {std::make_shared<int>(5)};
    std::cout << "sp1.unique() == " << std::boolalpha << sp1.unique() << std::endl; 
 
    std::shared_ptr<int> sp2 {sp1}; 
    std::cout << "sp1.unique() == " << std::boolalpha << sp1.unique() << std::endl; 
}

Output:

sp1.unique() == true
sp1.unique() == false
