std::experi...is_directory(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>std::experi...is_directory(3)</pink> page from the <purple>C++ Standard Libary</purple> manual. The main character is std::experimental::filesystem::is_directory — like, the function that checks whether a file status or path is a directory. That’s the whole NAME section, periodt. 💅✨

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

Defined in header <experimental/filesystem> 🫶

bool is_directory( file_status s );                 (1) (filesystem TS)
bool is_directory( const path& p );                 (2) (filesystem TS)
bool is_directory( const path& p, error_code& ec ); (3) (filesystem TS)

Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a directory.

1. (1) is equivalent to s.type() == file_type::directory.
2. (2) is equivalent to is_directory(status(p)).
3. (3) is equivalent to is_directory(status(p, ec)). Returns false if error occurs.

🫶 Parameters 🫶

• s — file status to check.
• p — path to query.
• ec — error code to modify in case of errors.

---

✨ Return value ✨

true if the given path or file status corresponds to a directory, false otherwise. Simple as that, bestie. 💖

---

💀 Exceptions 💀

• 1,3) — noexcept specification: noexcept. So these two are literally promising not to throw. 🫶
• 2) — Throws filesystem_error if an error occurs. The exception object is constructed with p as an argument. So yeah, if it’s gonna yell, it yells with p in the mix. 😭
