std::filesystem::directory_entry::directory_entry - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

directory_entry() noexcept = default; (1) (since C++17)
directory_entry( const directory_entry& ) = default; (2) (since C++17)
directory_entry( directory_entry&& ) noexcept = default; (3) (since C++17)
explicit directory_entry( const std::filesystem::path& p ); (4) (since C++17)
directory_entry( const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec ); (5) (since C++17)

Constructs a new directory_entry object.

  1. Default constructor.

  2. Defaulted copy constructor.

  3. Defaulted move constructor.

4,5) Initializes the directory entry with path p and calls

refresh

to update the cached attributes. If an error occurs, the non-throwing overload leaves the directory_entry holding a default-constructed path.

[edit] Parameters

p - path to the filesystem object to which the directory entry will refer
ec - out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload

[edit] Exceptions

Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.

1-4) Throws std::filesystem::filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors, constructed with p as the first path argument and the OS error code as the error code argument.

  1. 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.
