all entries of directories.
The classes tt((recursive_)directory_iterator) support default, copy, and move
constructors. Both classes can be constructed from a tt(path) and an optional
tt(error_code) reference. E.g.,
constructors. Objects of both classes are constructed from a tt(path) and an
optional tt(error_code). E.g.,
verb(
directory_iterator(path const &dest [, error_code &ec]);
)
All members of standard input iterators (cf. section ref(ITERATORS)) are
supported by these classes. Their currently stored path is returned by their
dereference operators:
verb(
cout << *fs::directory_iterator{ "/home" } << '\n'; // shows the first
// entry under /home
)
End-iterators matching these objects are the classes' default constructed
objects. In addition, tt(filesystem::begin)hi(begin) and
tt(filesystem::end)hi(end) are available and are automatically used by
range-based for loops. E.g., all entries of the tt(/var/log) directory are
displayed (surrounded by double quotes) by the following statement:
verb(
for (auto &entry: fs:directory_iterator("/var/log"))
cout << entry << '\n';
)
Alternatively, for-statements explicitly defining iterators can also be
used. E.g.,
verb(
for (
auto iter = fs:directory_iterator("/var/log"),
end = fs::directory_iterator{};
iter != end;
++iter
)
cout << entry << '\n';
)
An tt(fs::(recursive_)directory_iterator base{"/var/log"}) object
represents the first element of its directory. Explicitly defined iterators
can be used, like tt(auto &iter = begin(base), auto iter = begin(base), auto
&iter = base) or tt(auto iter = base): they all refer to tt(base's) data, and
incrementing them data also advances tt(base) to its next element:
verb(
fs::recursive_directory_iterator base{ "/var/log/" };
auto iter = base;
// final two elements show identical paths,
// different from the first element.
cout << *iter << ' ' << *++iter << ' ' << *base << '\n';
)
The tt(recursive_directory_iterator) also accepts a tt(directory_options)
argument (see below), which by default is specified as
tt(directory_options::none):
argument (see below), by default specified as tt(directory_options::none):
verb(

All standard members of input iterators (cf. section ref(ITERATORS)) are
supported by these classes. In addition, tt(filesystem::begin)hi(begin) and
tt(filesystem::end)hi(end) are available and are automatically used by
range-based for loops. E.g., all entries of the tt(/var/log)
directory are displayed by the following statement:
verb(
for (auto &entry: fs:directory_iterator("/var/log"))
cout << entry << '\n';
)
The tt(recursive_directory_iterator)
In addition to the standard available members the class
tt(recursive_directory_iterator) provides the following members:
itemization(
ithtq(depth)(int depth() const)
(returns the current iteration depth. At the initial directory
(specified at construction-time) tt(depth) returns 0;)
ithtq(disable_recursion_pending)(void disable_recursion_pending())
(when called before calling the iterator's increment operator or
member, the next entry is not recursed into if it is a
sub-directory. Immediately after executing the increment operator
recursion is allowed again, so if recursion should end at a specific
depth then this function must repeatedly be called for as long as
tt(depth()) returns that specific depth;)
ithtq(increment)(recursive_directory_iterator &increment(error_code &ec))
( acts identically to the iterator's tt(operator++()). However, when an
error occurs tt(operator++) throws a tt(filesystem_error), while
tt(increment) assigns the appropriate error to tt(ec);)
ithtq(options)(directory_options options() const)
(returns the option that was specified at construction-time;)
ithtq(pop)(void pop())
(ends processing of the current directory, and continues at the next
entry in the current directory's parent or ends the directory
processing if called at the initial directory;)
ithtq(recursion_pending)(bool recursion_pending() const)
(tt(true) is returned if the entry the iterator currently points at is
a directory into which directory processing will continue at the
iterator's next increment;)
)
The tt(enum class directory_options)hi(directory_options) defines values that
can be used to fine-tune the behavior of a tt(recursive_directory_iterator)
object. The enumeration supports bitwise operators (the symbols' values are
shown between parentheses). Here is an overview of all its defined symbols:

Finally, a little program displaying all directory elements of a directory and
all its immediate sub-directories:

{
cout << entry.depth() << ": " << *entry << '\n';
