std::experimental::filesystem::is_other(3)

NAME
std::experimental::filesystem::is_other - std::experimental::filesystem::is_other

Synopsis
   Defined in header <experimental/filesystem>
   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
   1,3)
   noexcept specification:
   noexcept
   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.
