NAME¶

std::filesystem::directory_options - std::filesystem::directory_options

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <filesystem>
enum class directory_options {

none = /* unspecified */,
follow_directory_symlink = /* unspecified */, (since C++17)
skip_permission_denied = /* unspecified */

};

This type represents available options that control the behavior of the
directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator.

directory_options satisfies the requirements of BitmaskType (which means the bitwise
operators operator&, operator|, operator^, operator~, operator&=, operator|=, and
operator^= are defined for this type). none represents the empty bitmask; every
other enumerator represents a distinct bitmask element.

Member constants¶

Member constant Meaning
none (Default) Skip directory symlinks, permission denied is
error.
follow_directory_symlink Follow rather than skip directory symlinks.
skip_permission_denied Skip directories that would otherwise result in permission
denied errors.
