bool is_other ( file_status s ) ;
(1) (filesystem TS)
bool is_other ( const path & p ) ;
(2) (filesystem TS)
bool is_other ( const path & p, error_code & ec ) ;
(3) (filesystem TS)

Checks if the given file status or path corresponds to a file of type other type. That is, the file exists, but is neither regular file, nor directory nor a symlink.

1) Equivalent to exists ( s ) && ! is_regular_file ( s ) && ! is_directory ( s ) && ! is_symlink ( s ) .
2) Equivalent to is_other ( status ( p ) ) .
3) Equivalent to is_other ( status ( p, ec ) ) . Returns false and sets ec to an appropriate error code if an error occurs. Otherwise, ec is cleared with a call to ec. clear ( ) .

Parameters

s - file status to check
p - path to examine
ec - error code to store the error status to

Return value

true if the given path or file status corresponds to a other file, false otherwise.

Exceptions

2) Throws filesystem_error if an error occurs. The error is constructed with p as an argument. The error code is set to an appropriate error code for the error that caused the failure.
