std::filesystem::is_other - cppreference.com (original) (raw)
| Defined in header | ||
|---|---|---|
| bool is_other( std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept; | (1) | (since C++17) |
| bool is_other( const std::filesystem::path& p ); | (2) | (since C++17) |
| bool is_other( const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec ) noexcept; | (3) | (since C++17) |
Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a file of type other type. That is, the file exists, but is neither regular file, nor directory nor a symlink.
- Equivalent to exists(s) && !is_regular_file(s) && !is_directory(s) && !is_symlink(s).
2,3) Equivalent to is_other(status(p)) or is_other(status(p, ec)), respectively.
[edit] Parameters
| s | - | file status to check |
|---|---|---|
| p | - | path to examine |
| ec | - | error code to store the error status to |
[edit] Return value
true if the file indicated by p or if the type indicated s refers to a file that is not regular file, directory, or a symlink, false otherwise. The non-throwing overload returns false if an error occurs.
[edit] Exceptions
Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.
2,3) Sets a std::error_code& parameter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur.
