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

Member constant	Meaning
none	(Default) Skip directory symlinks, permission denied is error.
follow_directory_symlink	Follow rather than skip directory symlinks.
skip_permission_denied	Skip directories that would otherwise result in permission denied errors.
