std::filesystem::directory_options

Defined in header <filesystem> 
enum class directory_options {
    none = /* unspecified */,
    follow_directory_symlink = /* unspecified */,
    skip_permission_denied = /* unspecified */
};
 (since C++17)

This type represents available options that control the behavior of the directory_iterator and recursive_directory_iterator.

directory_options satisfies the requirements of BitmaskType (which means the bitwise operators operator&, operator|, operator^, operator~, operator&=, operator|=, and operator^= are defined for this type). none represents the empty bitmask; every other enumerator represents a distinct bitmask element.

Member constants

none (Default) Skip directory symlinks, permission denied is error.
