Defined in header <filesystem>
bool is_other ( std:: filesystem :: file_status s ) noexcept ;
(1) (since C++17)
bool is_other ( const std:: filesystem :: path & p ) ;
(2) (since C++17)
bool is_other ( const std:: filesystem :: path & p, std:: error_code & ec ) noexcept ;
(3) (since C++17)

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 ) .
2,3) Equivalent to is_other ( status ( p ) ) or is_other ( status ( p, ec ) ) , respectively.

Parameters

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

Return value

true if the file indicated by p or if the type indicated s refers to a file that is not regular file, directory, or a symlink, false otherwise. The non-throwing overload returns false if an error occurs.

Exceptions

Any overload not marked noexcept may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.

2,3) Sets a std:: error_code & parameter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes ec. clear ( ) if no errors occur.
