Types

Name

Member Functions

Name

operator=

Assignment.

operator segments_view

Return the number of segments.

Static Member Functions

Friends

Name

Description

parse_path

Parse a string and return an encoded segment view.

Description

Objects of this type are used to interpret the path as a bidirectional view of segment strings. The view does not retain ownership of the elements and instead references the original character buffer. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the buffer extends until it is no longer referenced.

Example
url_view u( "/path/to/file.txt" );

segments_encoded_view ps = u.encoded_segments();

assert( ps.buffer().data() == u.buffer().data() );

Strings produced when elements are returned have type param_pct_view and represent encoded strings. Strings passed to member functions may contain percent escapes, and throw exceptions on invalid inputs.

Iterator Invalidation

Changes to the underlying character buffer can invalidate iterators which reference it.
