std::experi...ory_iterator(3) C++ Standard Libarystd::experi...ory_iterator(3) NAME std::experimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator - std::ex- perimental::filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator Synopsis Defined in header <experimental/filesystem> class recursive_directory_iterator; (filesystem TS) recursive_directory_iterator is a LegacyInputIterator that iterates over the directory_entry elements of a directory, and, recursively, over the entries of all subdirectories. The iteration order is unspecified, except that each directory entry is visited only once. By default, symlinks are not followed, but this can be enabled by specifying the directory option follow_directory_symlink at construction time. The special pathnames dot and dot-dot are skipped. If the recursive_directory_iterator is advanced past the last direc- tory entry of the top-level directory, it becomes equal to the default-constructed it- erator, also known as the end iterator. Two end iterators are always equal, dereferencing or incrementing the end iterator is undefined behavior. If a file or a directory is deleted or added to the directory tree after the recursive directory iterator has been created, it is unspecified whether the change would be observed through the iterator. If the directory structure contains cycles, the end iterator may be unreachable.

Notes A recursive_directory_iterator typically holds a reference-counted pointer (to satisfy shallow-copy semantics of LegacyInputIterator) to an imple- mentation object, which holds: * a container (such as std::vector) of non-recursive directory_it- erators that forms the recursion stack. * the recursion depth counter (accessible with depth()). * the directory options used at construction (accessible with op- tions()). * the pending recursion flag (accessible with recursion_pending(), may be combined with the directory options to save space). 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"); fs::create_symlink("a", "sandbox/syma"); for (const fs::directory_entry& entry : fs::recursive_direc- tory_iterator("sandbox")) std::cout << entry << '\n'; fs::remove_all("sandbox"); } Possible output: "sandbox/a" "sandbox/a/b" "sandbox/file1.txt" "sandbox/syma" See also directory_iterator an iterator to the contents of the directory (class) directory_entry a directory entry (class) directory_options options for iterating directory contents (enum) Category: * Noindexed pages http://cppreference.com 2024.06.10 std::experi...ory_iterator(3)
