27.10.14.1 recursive_directory_iterator members [rec.dir.itr.members]

recursive_directory_iterator() noexcept;

Effects: Constructs the end iterator.

explicit recursive_directory_iterator(const path& p); recursive_directory_iterator(const path& p, directory_options options); recursive_directory_iterator(const path& p, directory_options options, error_code& ec) noexcept; recursive_directory_iterator(const path& p, error_code& ec) noexcept;

Effects: Constructs a iterator representing the first entry in the directory p resolves to, if any; otherwise, the end iterator. However, if

(options & directory_options::skip_permission_denied) != directory_options::none

and construction encounters an error indicating that permission to access p is denied, constructs the end iterator and does not report an error.

Postconditions: options() == options for the signatures with a directory_options argument, otherwise options() == directory_options::none.

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].

Note: To iterate over the current directory, use recursive_directory_iterator(".") rather than recursive_directory_iterator("").  — end note ]

Note: By default, recursive_directory_iterator does not follow directory symlinks. To follow directory symlinks, specify options as directory_options::follow_directory_symlink  — end note ]

recursive_directory_iterator(const recursive_directory_iterator& rhs);

Effects: Constructs an object of class recursive_directory_iterator.

Postconditions:

  • options() == rhs.options()

  • depth() == rhs.depth()

  • recursion_pending() == rhs.recursion_pending()

recursive_directory_iterator(recursive_directory_iterator&& rhs) noexcept;

Effects: Constructs an object of class recursive_directory_iterator.

Postconditions: options(), depth(), and recursion_pending() return the values that rhs.options(), rhs.depth(), and rhs.recursion_pending(), respectively, had before the function call.

recursive_directory_iterator& operator=(const recursive_directory_iterator& rhs);

Effects: If *this and rhs are the same object, the member has no effect.

Postconditions:

  • options() == rhs.options()

  • depth() == rhs.depth()

  • recursion_pending() == rhs.recursion_pending()

Returns: *this.

recursive_directory_iterator& operator=(recursive_directory_iterator&& rhs) noexcept;

Effects: If *this and rhs are the same object, the member has no effect.

Postconditions: options(), depth(), and recursion_pending() return the values that rhs.options(), rhs.depth(), and rhs.recursion_pending(), respectively, had before the function call.

Returns: *this.

directory_options options() const;

Returns: The value of the constructor options argument, if present, otherwise directory_options::none.

Throws: Nothing.

int depth() const;

Returns: The current depth of the directory tree being traversed. [ Note: The initial directory is depth 0, its immediate subdirectories are depth 1, and so forth.  — end note ]

Throws: Nothing.

bool recursion_pending() const;

Returns: true if disable_recursion_pending() has not been called subsequent to the prior construction or increment operation, otherwise false.

Throws: Nothing.

recursive_directory_iterator& operator++(); recursive_directory_iterator& increment(error_code& ec) noexcept;

Effects: As specified for the prefix increment operation of Input iterators ([input.iterators]), except that:

  • If there are no more entries at the current depth, then if depth()!= 0 iteration over the parent directory resumes; otherwise *this = recursive_directory_iterator().

  • Otherwise if

    recursion_pending() && is_directory((*this)->status()) &&
    (!is_symlink((*this)->symlink_status()) ||
     (options() & directory_options::follow_directory_symlink) != directory_options::none)
    

    then either directory (*this)->path() is recursively iterated into or, if

    (options() & directory_options::skip_permission_denied) != directory_options::none
    

    and an error occurs indicating that permission to access directory (*this)->path() is denied, then directory (*this)->path() is treated as an empty directory and no error is reported.

Returns: *this.

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].

void pop(); void pop(error_code& ec);

Effects: If depth() == 0, set *this to recursive_directory_iterator(). Otherwise, cease iteration of the directory currently being iterated over, and continue iteration over the parent directory.

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].

void disable_recursion_pending();

Postconditions: recursion_pending() == false.

Note: disable_recursion_pending() is used to prevent unwanted recursion into a directory.  — end note ]
