<filesystem>
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.
1) 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.
