std::filesystem::directory_entry(3)

NAME
std::filesystem::directory_entry - std::filesystem::directory_entry

Synopsis
   Defined in header <filesystem>
   class directory_entry; (since C++17)
   Represents a directory entry. The object stores a path as a member and may also
   store additional file attributes (hard link count, status, symlink status, file
   size, and last write time) during directory iteration.

Member functions
   constructor constructs a directory entry
                        (public member function)
   destructor default destructor
                        (public member function)

Modifiers
   operator= assigns contents
                        (public member function)
   assign assigns contents
                        (public member function)
   replace_filename sets the filename
                        (public member function)
   refresh updates the cached file attributes
                        (public member function)

                        checks whether directory entry refers to existing file system
   exists object
                        (public member function)
   is_block_file checks whether the directory entry refers to block device
                        (public member function)
   is_character_file checks whether the directory entry refers to a character device
                        (public member function)
   is_directory checks whether the directory entry refers to a directory
                        (public member function)
   is_fifo checks whether the directory entry refers to a named pipe
                        (public member function)
   is_other checks whether the directory entry refers to an other file
                        (public member function)
   is_regular_file checks whether the directory entry refers to a regular file
                        (public member function)
   is_socket checks whether the directory entry refers to a named IPC socket
                        (public member function)
   is_symlink checks whether the directory entry refers to a symbolic link
                        (public member function)
                        returns the size of the file to which the directory entry
   file_size refers
                        (public member function)
                        returns the number of hard links referring to the file to which
   hard_link_count the directory entry refers
                        (public member function)
                        gets or sets the time of the last data modification of the file
   last_write_time to which the directory entry refers
                        (public member function)
   status status of the file designated by this directory entry
   symlink_status symlink_status of the file designated by this directory entry
                        (public member function)
