std::filesystem::path::replace_filename

path& replace_filename( const path& replacement );
 (since C++17)

Replaces a single filename component with replacement.

Equivalent to the following:

remove_filename();
operator/=(replacement);

The behavior is undefined if the path has no filename component (has_filename returns false).

Parameters

(none).

Return value

*this.

Exceptions

(none).

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
 
int main()
{
 
    std::cout << fs::path("/foo").replace_filename("bar") << '\n'
              << fs::path("/").replace_filename("bar") << '\n';
}

Output:

"/bar"
"bar"
