std::experi...::operator*,(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the page the header calls std::experi...::operator*,(3) — it’s from the C++ Standard Libary manual (yes, spelled exactly like that in the header, iconic). It’s all about std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator::operator*, and the NAME line literally lists std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator::operator*, then a -, then std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator::operator*, again. Repetition? Obsessed. 💅

✨ Synopsis ✨

const directory_entry& operator*() const;  (1) (filesystem TS)
const directory_entry* operator->() const; (2) (filesystem TS)

It accesses the pointed-to directory_entry. ✨

⚠️ Bestie, this is the important part: the result of operator* or operator-> on the end iterator is undefined behavior. No cap, do not mess with the end iterator here. 😭

🧸 Parameters 🧸

(none) — literally no parameters, she takes nothing. 🎀

💖 Return value 💖

1. Value of the directory_entry referred to by this iterator.
2. Pointer to the directory_entry referred to by this iterator.

😭 Exceptions 😭

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
