std::filesy...::operator=(3)

💅 NAME 💅

ok so bestie, this is the page for std::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator::operator= — literally the assignment operator for your recursive directory iterator. two of them, actually. assignment slay. 💖

(the manual name it lives under is std::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator::operator= — yes it's the same thing twice, the manpage header just does that, we don't question it, we stan a consistent brand ✨ and yes the original header spells it "C++ Standard Libary", no cap, that's just how it's printed, we're leaving it. iconic typo energy. 🎀)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

two overloads, both since C++17, both = default, both giving main character:

recursive_directory_iterator& operator=( const
     recursive_directory_iterator& other ) = default;

recursive_directory_iterator& operator=(
     recursive_directory_iterator&& other ) = default;

that's the whole vibe check: one copy-assign, one move-assign, both defaulted. the way that C++17 just dropped these and said "you're welcome" 😭

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• other — another directory iterator to assign from. it's the one getting copied/moved into *this. give them a little wave 🫶

---

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

*this

that's it. that's the return value. it returns itself. main character behavior, honestly 👑 it hands you back the very object you just assigned to, so you can chain stuff and feel powerful.

---

💀 EXCEPTIONS 💀

it may throw implementation-defined exceptions. fr fr, that means whatever your implementation decided is fair game — check your implementation's docs if that matters to you, we're not gonna make up specifics. 🙈

heads up: this section is marked incomplete in the source. so like... there might be more tea here someday, but right now this is what we've got. 💀

---

🎀 CATEGORY 🎀

• Todo without reason

yes literally. that's the whole category. no reason given. we love an unbothered queen with zero explanation 🌈
