path root_path() const;
(filesystem TS)

Returns the root path of the path. If the path does not include root path, returns path().

Effectively, returns the following: root_name() / root_directory()

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The root path of the path.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Example

#include <experimental/filesystem>
#include <iostream>
namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "Current root path is: " << fs::current_path().root_path() << '\n';
}

Possible output:

Current root path is: "C:\"
