Returns the internal pathname in generic pathname format, converted to specific string type. Conversion, if any, is specified as follows:

The / character is used as the directory separator.

  1. All memory allocations are performed by a.

  2. The result encoding in the case of u8string() is always UTF-8.

[edit] Parameters

a - allocator to construct the string with
Type requirements
-CharT must be one of the encoded character types (char, wchar_t, char8_t(since C++20), char16_t and char32_t).

[edit] Return value

The internal pathname in generic pathname format, converted to specified string type.

[edit] Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
