bool is_regular_file() const; bool is_regular_file( std::error_code& ec ) const noexcept; | (since C++17) |
Checks whether the pointed-to object is a regular file. Effectively returns std::filesystem::is_regular_file(status())
or std::filesystem::is_regular_file(status(ec))
, respectively.
ec | - | out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload |
true
if the referred-to filesystem object is a regular file, false
otherwise.
The overload that does not take a std::error_code&
parameter throws filesystem::filesystem_error
on underlying OS API errors, constructed with p
as the first path argument and the OS error code as the error code argument. The overload taking a std::error_code&
parameter sets it to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec.clear()
if no errors occur. Any overload not marked noexcept
may throw std::bad_alloc
if memory allocation fails.
#include <filesystem> #include <iostream> #include <string> namespace fs = std::filesystem; int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) { // Print out all regular files in a directory 'dir'. try { const auto dir = argc == 2 ? fs::path{ argv[1] } : fs::current_path(); std::cout << "Current dir: " << dir << '\n' << std::string(40, '-') << '\n'; for (fs::directory_entry const& entry : fs::directory_iterator(dir)) { if (entry.is_regular_file()) { std::cout << entry.path().filename() << '\n'; } } } catch(fs::filesystem_error const& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; } }
Possible output:
Current dir: "/tmp/1588616534.9884143" ---------------------------------------- "main.cpp" "a.out"
