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)
Observers
pathoperator const path&	returns the path the entry refers to (public member function)
exists	checks whether directory entry refers to existing file system 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)
file_size	returns the size of the file to which the directory entry refers (public member function)
hard_link_count	returns the number of hard links referring to the file to which the directory entry refers (public member function)
last_write_time	gets or sets the time of the last data modification of the file to which the directory entry refers (public member function)
statussymlink_status	status of the file designated by this directory entry symlink_status of the file designated by this directory entry (public member function)
operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>=	compares two directory entries (public member function)
