# std::experimental::filesystem::is_empty

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | experimental‎ | fs

Defined in header `<experimental/filesystem>` |  |
bool is_empty( const path& p ); | (1) | (filesystem TS)
bool is_empty( const path& p, error_code& ec ); | (2) | (filesystem TS)

Checks whether the given path refers to an empty file or directory.

The second version returns false and sets `ec` to an appropriate error code if an error occurs. Otherwise, `ec` is cleared with a call to ec.clear().

### [edit] Parameters

p | - | path to examine
ec | - | error code to modify in case of error

### [edit] Return value

true if `p` refers to an empty file or directory, false otherwise.

### [edit] Exceptions

1) filesystem_error if an error occurs. The exception object is constructed with `p` as an argument. The error code is set to an appropriate error code for the error that caused the failure.
2)
`noexcept` specification:
noexcept
