<filesystem> enumerations

  • Artikkel

This topic documents the enums in the filesystem header.

Requirements

Header: <experimental/filesystem>

Namespace: std::experimental::filesystem

copy_options

An enumeration of bitmask values that is used with copy and copy_file functions to specify behavior.

Syntax

enum class copy_options {
   none = 0,
   skip_existing = 1,
   overwrite_existing = 2,
   update_existing = 4,
   recursive = 8,
   copy_symlinks = 16,
   skip_symlinks = 32,
   directories_only = 64,
   create_symlinks = 128,
   create_hard_links = 256
};

Values

Name Description
none Perform the default behavior for the operation.
skip_existing Do not copy if the file already exists, do not report an error.
overwrite_existing Overwrite the file if it already exists.
update_existing Overwrite the file if it already exists and is older than the replacement.
recursive Recursively copy subdirectories and their contents.
copy_symlinks Copy symbolic links as symbolic links, instead of copying the files they point to.
skip_symlinks Ignore symbolic links.
directories_only Only iterate over directories, ignore files.
create_symlinks Make symbolic links instead of copying files. An absolute path must be used as the source path unless the destination is the current directory.
create_hard_links Make hard links instead of copying files.

directory_options

Specifies whether to follow symbolic links to directories or to ignore them.

Syntax

enum class directory_options {
   none = 0,
   follow_directory_symlink
};

Values

Name Description
none Default behavior: ignore symbolic links to directories. Permission denied is an error.
follow_directory_symlink Treat symbolic links to directories as actual directories.

file_type

An enumeration for file types. The supported values are regular, directory, not_found, and unknown.

Syntax

enum class file_type {
    not_found = -1,
    none,
    regular,
    directory,
    symlink,
    block,
    character,
    fifo,
    socket,
    unknown
};

Values

Name Value Description
not_found -1 Represents a file that does not exist.
none 0 Represents a file that has no type attribute. (Not supported.)
regular 1 Represents a conventional disk file.
directory 2 Represents a directory.
symlink 3 Represents a symbolic link. (Not supported.)
block 4 Represents a block-special file on UNIX-based systems. (Not supported.)
character 5 Represents a character-special file on UNIX-based systems. (Not supported.)
fifo 6 Represents a FIFO file on UNIX-based systems. (Not supported.)
socket 7 Represents a socket on UNIX based systems. (Not supported.)
unknown 8 Represents a file whose status cannot be determined.

perm_options

Includes values replace, add, remove, and nofollow.

enum class perm_options;

perms

Flags for file permissions. The supported values are essentially "readonly" and all. For a readonly file, none of the *_write bits are set. Otherwise the all bit (0x0777) is set.

Syntax

enum class perms {// names for permissions
   none = 0,
   owner_read = 0400,  // S_IRUSR
   owner_write = 0200, // S_IWUSR
   owner_exec = 0100,  // S_IXUSR
   owner_all = 0700,   // S_IRWXU
   group_read = 040,   // S_IRGRP
   group_write = 020,  // S_IWGRP
   group_exec = 010,   // S_IXGRP
   group_all = 070,    // S_IRWXG
   others_read = 04,   // S_IROTH
   others_write = 02,  // S_IWOTH
   others_exec = 01,   // S_IXOTH
   others_all = 07,    // S_IRWXO
   all = 0777,
   set_uid = 04000,    // S_ISUID
   set_gid = 02000,    // S_ISGID
   sticky_bit = 01000, // S_ISVTX
   mask = 07777,
   unknown = 0xFFFF,
   add_perms = 0x10000,
   remove_perms = 0x20000,
   resolve_symlinks = 0x40000
};
