std::experi...::file_type(3)

💅 std::experi...::file_type(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that’s the spelling, don’t come for me 😭 — and this page is all about std::experi...::file_type(3). iconic little enum, fr fr.

💖 NAME 💖

std::experimental::filesystem::file_type — and yeah, it’s literally also std::experimental::filesystem::file_type. the full name is doing the most, but we respect it 🫶

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <experimental/filesystem>, and the enum goes like this:

Defined in header <experimental/filesystem>
enum class file_type {

    none = 0,
    not_found = -1,
    regular = 1,
    directory = 2,
    symlink = 3,                             (filesystem TS)
    block = 4,
    character = 5,
    fifo = 6,
    socket = 7,
    unknown = 8

};

It indicates a type of a file or directory a path refers to. very “what even are you, actually?” energy 💅

• regular — a regular file
• directory — a directory
• symlink — a symbolic link
• block — a block special file
