std::filesystem::equivalent - cppreference.com

Checks whether the paths p1 and p2 resolve to the same file system entity.

If either p1 or p2 does not exist, an error is reported.

The non-throwing overload returns false on errors.

[edit] Parameters p1, p2 - paths to check for equivalence ec - out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload [edit] Return value

true if the p1 and p2 refer to the same file or directory and their file status is the same. false otherwise.

[edit] Exceptions

Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.

1)

Throws

std::filesystem::filesystem_error

on underlying OS API errors, constructed with

p1

as the first path argument,

p2

as the second path argument, and the OS error code as the error code argument.

2)

Sets a

std::error_code&

parameter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes

ec.clear()

if no errors occur.

[edit] Notes

Two paths are considered to resolve to the same file system entity if the two candidate entities the paths resolve to are located on the same device at the same location. For POSIX, this means that the st_dev and st_ino members of their POSIX stat structure, obtained as if by POSIX stat(), are equal.

In particular, all hard links for the same file or directory are equivalent, and a symlink and its target on the same file system are equivalent.

[edit] Example

#include <cstdint>
#include <filesystem>
#include <iostream>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
 
int main()
{
    // hard link equivalency
    fs::path p1 = ".";
    fs::path p2 = fs::current_path();
    if (fs::equivalent(p1, p2))
        std::cout << p1 << " is equivalent to " << p2 << '\n';
 
    // symlink equivalency
    for (const fs::path lib : {"/lib/libc.so.6", "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"})
    {
        try
        {
            p2 = lib.parent_path() / fs::read_symlink(lib);
        }
        catch (std::filesystem::filesystem_error const& ex)
        {
            std::cout << ex.what() << '\n';
            continue;
        }
 
        if (fs::equivalent(lib, p2))
            std::cout << lib << " is equivalent to " << p2 << '\n';
    }
}

Possible output:

"." is equivalent to "/var/tmp/test"
filesystem error: read_symlink: No such file or directory [/lib/libc.so.6]
"/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6" is equivalent to "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so"
