std::filesystem::is_other(3)   C++ Standard Libary  std::filesystem::is_other(3)

NAME
     std::filesystem::is_other - std::filesystem::is_other

Synopsis
	Defined in header <filesystem>
	bool  is_other(  std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept;	     (1)
     (since C++17)
	bool is_other( const std::filesystem::path& p  );		     (2)
     (since C++17)
	bool  is_other(  const std::filesystem::path& p, std::error_code& ec (3)
     (since C++17)
	) noexcept;

	Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a  file	of  type
     other type.
	That is, the file exists, but is neither regular file, nor directory nor
     a symlink.

	1) Equivalent to exists(s) && !is_regular_file(s) && !is_directory(s) &&
	!is_symlink(s).
	2,3)  Equivalent  to is_other(status(p)) or is_other(status(p, ec)), re-
     spectively.

Parameters
	s  - file status to check
	p  - path to examine
	ec - error code to store the error status to

Return value
	true if the file indicated by p or if the type indicated s refers  to  a
     file that is
	not  regular  file,  directory,  or a symlink, false otherwise. The non-
     throwing
	overload returns false if an error occurs.

Exceptions
	Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory  al-
     location
	fails.

	2,3) 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.
