file_status symlink_status(const path& p); file_status symlink_status(const path& p, error_code& ec) noexcept;
1
#
Effects: Same as status(), above, except that the attributes of p are determined as if by using POSIX lstat() to obtain a POSIX struct stat.
2
#
Let prms denote the result of (m & perms::mask), where m is determined as if by converting the st_­mode member of the obtained struct stat to the type perms.
3
#
Returns: Same as status(), above, except that if the attributes indicate a symbolic link, as if by POSIX S_­ISLNK, returns file_­status(file_­type::symlink, prms).
The signature with argument ec returns file_­status(file_­type::none) if an error occurs.
4
#
Remarks: Pathname resolution terminates if p names a symbolic link.
5
#
Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].
