NAME¶

std::experimental::filesystem::begin(directory_iterator), - std::experimental::filesystem::begin(directory_iterator),

Synopsis¶

directory_iterator begin( directory_iterator iter ); (1) (filesystem TS)
directory_iterator end( const directory_iterator& ); (2) (filesystem TS)

1) Returns iter unchanged.
2) Returns a default-constructed directory_iterator, which serves as the end
iterator. The argument is ignored.

These non-member functions enable the use of directory_iterators with range-based
for loops.

Parameters¶

iter - a directory_iterator

Return value¶

1) iter unchanged.
2) End iterator (default-constructed directory_iterator).

Exceptions¶

noexcept specification:
noexcept

Example¶

// Run this code

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

int main()
{
fs::create_directories("sandbox/a/b");
std::ofstream("sandbox/file1.txt");
std::ofstream("sandbox/file2.txt");
for (auto& p : fs::directory_iterator("sandbox"))
std::cout << p << '\n';
fs::remove_all("sandbox");
}

Possible output:¶

"sandbox/a"
"sandbox/file1.txt"
"sandbox/file2.txt"
