bool is_directory( std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept; | (1) | (since C++17) |
bool is_directory( const std::filesystem::path& p ); bool is_directory( const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec ) noexcept; | (2) | (since C++17) |
Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a directory.
s.type() == file_type::directory.is_directory(status(p)) or is_directory(status(p, ec)), respectively.| s | - | file status to check |
| p | - | path to query |
| ec | - | error code to modify in case of errors |
true if the file indicated by p or if the type indicated s refers to a directory, false otherwise. The non-throwing overload returns false if an error occurs.
std::error_code& parameter throws 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. The overload taking a std::error_code& parameter sets it to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur. Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.#include <iostream>

}Possible output:
"sandbox/file" is a regular file "sandbox/dir" is a directory "sandbox/pipe" is a named IPC pipe "sandbox/sock" is a named IPC socket "sandbox/symlink" is a symlink "dev/null" is a character device "dev/sda" is a block device "sandbox/no" does not exist
