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

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¶

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).
