lfilesystem

A C++ filesystem library built on top of std::filesystem

Features

This library provides object-oriented approaches to working with different kinds of filesystem objects. Highlights include the Volume and FileWatcher classes.

Portability

This library is tested on Mac, Windows, and Linux (with GCC, Clang, and MSVC), as well as cross-compiled for iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and Emscripten (WebAssembly). All APIs are available on all platforms, with availability introspection functions for features not supported on all platforms.

Building

This library is built with CMake. CMake presets are provided for each of the toolchains we target. This library supports being added to other CMake projects via find_package(), FetchContent, or a plain add_subdirectory(). In all cases, you should link against the target limes::lfilesystem and include the main header this way:

#include <lfilesystem/lfilesystem.h>

All of this library's headers can be individually included, but including lfilesystem.h is the easiest way to bring in the entire library.
