basic_directory_iterator Class

Describes an input iterator that sequences through the file names in a file system directory. For an iterator X, the expression *X evaluates to a basic_directory_entry object that wraps a file name and anything that's known about the status of the associated file.

template<class Path>
class basic_directory_iterator : public iterator<input_iterator_tag, basic_directory_entry<Path> >;

Remarks

The class stores an object of type Path, which represents the current file name in the directory sequence. Path can be either a basic_path or a type that's derived from basic_path.
