std::filesy...status_known(3)

📦 version 2024.07.05, in nixpkgs unstable, opensuse-leap 16.0

💖 NAME 💖

std::filesystem::status_known - std::filesystem::status_known

Yes bestie, the NAME says the same thing twice — it's giving iconic repetition, no notes. This page is std::filesy...status_known(3) from the C++ Standard Libary, and the truncation is lowkey part of the lore. 💅

✨ Synopsis ✨

Defined in header <filesystem>:

bool status_known( std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept; (1)

(since C++17) 🦋

Checks if the given file status is known, equivalent to s.type() != file_type::none.

🫶 Parameters 🫶

  • s — file status to check

⭐ Return value ⭐

Returns true if the given file status is a known file status. That's the whole vibe check. ✨

🧚 Notes 🧚

Despite the name, the function checks for the file status of file_type::none (meaning an error occurred), not file_type::unknown (meaning file exists, but its type cannot be determined).

So yes, the name is a little misleading, and we're just gonna sit with that information together. 🙈
