Defined in header <filesystem> | ||
enumclass perm_options{ replace=/* unspecified */, | (since C++17) | |
This type represents available options that control the behavior of the functionstd::filesystem::permissions().
perm_options satisfies the requirements ofBitmaskType (which means the bitwise operatorsoperator&,operator|,operator^,operator~,operator&=,operator|=, andoperator^= are defined for this type).
At most one ofadd,remove,replace may be present, otherwise the behavior of the permissions function is undefined.
| Enumerator | Meaning |
replace | permissions will be completely replaced by the argument topermissions() (default behavior) |
add | permissions will be replaced by the bitwise OR of the argument and the current permissions |
remove | permissions will be replaced by the bitwise AND of the negated argument and current permissions |
nofollow | permissions will be changed on the symlink itself, rather than on the file it resolves to |

Possible output:
