std::experi...::root_path(3)

🎀 std::experi...::root_path(3) 🎀

Okay bestie, you're on the C++ Standard Libary manual page for std::experi...::root_path(3) — yes, the filesystem girlies are back, and this one is all about the root path. 💅✨

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

• std::experimental::filesystem::path::root_path — std::experimental::filesystem::path::root_path

It's literally the same name twice, and honestly? Iconic. 🫶

✨ Synopsis ✨

path root_path() const;  (filesystem TS)

It's giving tiny but mighty: path root_path() const; in the (filesystem TS). 🌸

Returns the root path of the path. If the path does not include root path, returns path().

Effectively, returns the following: root_name() / root_directory(). No cap. 💖

🌟 Parameters 🌟

(none) — literally no parameters, bestie. Not a single one. 🙈

💖 Return value 💖

The root path of the path. That's the whole assignment. 🎀

🔥 Exceptions 🔥

May throw implementation-defined exceptions. So like, keep that in mind, okay? 😭

🍓 Example 🍓

// Run this code

#include <experimental/filesystem>
#include <iostream>
namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Current root path is: " <<
fs::current_path().root_path() << '\n';
}

Possible output:

Current root path is: "C:\"

It's giving short and sweet, and the possible output is literally Current root path is: "C:\". Slay. 💅

• root_name — returns the root-name of the path, if present (public member function)
• root_directory — returns the root directory of the path, if present (public member function)

Two little besties doing related path things. Obsessed. 🦋
