Checks whether the given path refers to an empty file or directory.
[edit] Parameters p - path to examine ec - error code to modify in case of error [edit] Return valuetrue if the path indicated by p refers to an empty file or directory, false otherwise. The non-throwing overload returns false if an error occurs.
[edit] ExceptionsAny overload not marked noexcept
may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.
Throws
std::filesystem::filesystem_erroron underlying OS API errors, constructed with
pas the first path argument and the OS error code as the error code argument.
2)Sets a
std::error_code¶meter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes
ec.clear()if no errors occur.
[edit] Example#include <cstdio> #include <filesystem> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> int main() { namespace fs = std::filesystem; const fs::path tmp_dir{fs::temp_directory_path()}; std::cout << std::boolalpha << "Temp dir: " << tmp_dir << '\n' << "is_empty(): " << fs::is_empty(tmp_dir) << '\n'; const fs::path tmp_name{tmp_dir / std::tmpnam(nullptr)}; std::cout << "Temp file: " << tmp_name << '\n'; std::ofstream file{tmp_name.string()}; std::cout << "is_empty(): " << fs::is_empty(tmp_name) << '\n'; file << "cppreference.com"; file.flush(); std::cout << "is_empty(): " << fs::is_empty(tmp_name) << '\n' << "file_size(): " << fs::file_size(tmp_name) << '\n'; file.close(); fs::remove(tmp_name); }
Possible output:
Temp dir: "/tmp" is_empty(): false Temp file: "/tmp/fileCqd9DM" is_empty(): true is_empty(): false file_size(): 16[edit] Defect reports
