Defined in header <experimental/filesystem>
enum class file_type {     none = 0,     not_found = -1,     regular = 1,     directory = 2,     symlink = 3,     block = 4,     character = 5,     fifo = 6,     socket = 7,     unknown = 8 };		(filesystem TS)

Indicates a type of a file or directory a path refers to.

Constants

Constant	Meaning
none	indicates that the file status has not been evaluated yet, or an error occurred when evaluating it
not_found	indicates that the file was not found (this is not considered an error)
regular	a regular file
directory	a directory
symlink	a symbolic link
block	a block special file
character	a character special file
fifo	a FIFO (also known as pipe) file
socket	a socket file
unknown	an unknown file
