path& replace_filename( const path& replacement );		(since C++17)

Replaces a single filename component with replacement.

Equivalent to: remove_filename(); return operator/=(replacement);.

Parameters

replacement

-

path used for replacing the filename component

Return value

*this

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << fs::path("/foo").replace_filename("bar") << '\n'
              << fs::path("/").replace_filename("bar") << '\n'
              << fs::path("").replace_filename("pub") << '\n';
}

Output:

"/bar"
"/bar"
"pub"
