Returns:

  • (1.1)

    If !exists(p) an error is reported ([fs.err.report]).

  • (1.2)

    Otherwise, if is_­regular_­file(p), the size in bytes of the file p resolves to, determined as if by the value of the POSIX stat structure member st_­size obtained as if by POSIX stat().

  • (1.3)

    Otherwise, the result is implementation-defined.

The signature with argument ec returns static_­cast<uintmax_­t>(-1) if an error occurs.
