std::filesystem::directory_options - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

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.

Constants

Enumerator 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
