std::filesystem:: directory_options

Defined in header <filesystem>
enum class directory_options { none = /* unspecified */ , follow_directory_symlink = /* unspecified */ , skip_permission_denied = /* unspecified */ } ;		(since C++17)

This type represents available options that control the behavior of the directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator .

directory_options satisfies the requirements of BitmaskType (which means the bitwise operators operator & , operator | , operator ^ , operator~ , operator & = , operator | = , and operator ^ = are defined for this type). none represents the empty bitmask; every other enumerator represents a distinct bitmask element.

Constants

Enumerator	Meaning
none	(default) skip directory symlinks, “permission denied” is error
follow_directory_symlink	follow rather than skip directory symlinks
skip_permission_denied	skip directories that would otherwise result in “permission denied” errors
