std::filesy...ce_filename(3)  C++ Standard Libary std::filesy...ce_filename(3)

NAME
       std::filesystem::directory_entry::replace_filename    -	 std::filesys-
       tem::directory_entry::replace_filename

Synopsis
	  void	 replace_filename(   const   std::filesystem::path&    p    );
       (1) (since C++17)
	  void	   replace_filename(	 const	  std::filesystem::path&    p,
       (2) (since C++17)
	  std::error_code& ec );

	  Changes the filename of the directory	entry.

	  Effectively modifies the path	member by path.replace_filename(p) and
       calls refresh
	  to update the	cached attributes. If an error occurs, the  values  of
       the cached
	  attributes are unspecified.

	  This function	does not commit	any changes to the filesystem.

Parameters
	  p   -	 the path to append to the parent path of the currently	stored
       path
	  ec - out-parameter for error reporting in the	non-throwing overload

Return value
	  (none)

Exceptions
	  Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if	memory
       allocation
	  fails.

	  1) Throws std::filesystem::filesystem_error on underlying OS API er-
       rors, constructed
	  with p as the	first path argument and	the OS error code as the error
       code argument.
	  2)  Sets a std::error_code& parameter	to the OS API error code if an
       OS API call
	  fails, and executes ec.clear() if no errors occur.

Example
       // Run this code

	#include <filesystem>
	#include <iostream>

	int main()
	{
	    namespace fs = std::filesystem;
	    {
		fs::directory_entry entry{"alpha"};
		std::cout << entry << '\n';
		entry.replace_filename("omega");
		std::cout << entry << '\n';
	    }
	    {
		fs::directory_entry entry{"/alpha/"};
		std::cout << entry << '\n';
		entry.replace_filename("omega");
		std::cout << entry << '\n';
	    }
	}

Output:
	"alpha"
	"omega"
	"/alpha/"
	"/alpha/omega"
