std::filesystem::path::operator=

path& operator=( const path& p );	(1)	(since C++17)
path& operator=( path&& p ) noexcept;	(2)	(since C++17)
path& operator=( string_type&& source );	(3)	(since C++17)
template< class Source > path& operator=( const Source& source );	(4)	(since C++17)

1) Replaces the contents of *this with a pathname whose both native and generic format representations equal those of p.

2) Replaces the contents of *this with a pathname whose both native and generic format representations equal those of p, possibly using move semantics: p is left in a valid, but unspecified state.

3) Replaces the contents of *this with a new path value constructed from detected-format source, which is left in valid, but unspecified state. Equivalent to assign(std::move(source)).

4) Replaces the contents of *this with a new path value constructed from detected-format source as if by overload (4) of the path constructor. Equivalent to assign(source).

Parameters

p	-	a path to assign
source	-	a `std::basic_string`, `std::basic_string_view`, pointer to a null-terminated character/wide character string, or an input iterator that points to a null-terminated character/wide character sequence. The character type must be one of `char`, `char8_t`, (since C++20)`char16_t`, `char32_t`, `wchar_t`

Return value

*this.

Example

#include <filesystem>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
int main()
{
    fs::path p = "C:/users/abcdef/AppData/Local";
    p = p / "Temp"; // move assignment
    const wchar_t* wstr = L"D:/猫.txt";
    p = wstr; // assignment from a source
}

assign	assigns contents (public member function)
(constructor)	constructs a `path` (public member function)
