std::filesystem::status_known

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
Defined in header <filesystem>
bool status_known( std::filesystem::file_status s ) noexcept;
(1) (since C++17)

Checks if the given file status is known, equivalent to s.type() != file_type::none.

Parameters

s - file status to check

Return value

true if the given file status is a known file status.

Notes

Despite the name, the function checks for the file status of file_type::none (meaning an error occurred), not file_type::unknown (meaning file exists, but its type cannot be determined).
