class segments_encoded_view :
    public segments_encoded_base

Types

Name	Description
const_iterator	A Bidirectional iterator to a path segment.
const_reference	The reference type.
difference_type	A signed integer type used to represent differences.
iterator	A Bidirectional iterator to a path segment.
reference	The reference type.
size_type	An unsigned integer type used to represent size.
value_type	The value type.

Member Functions

Name	Description
back	Return the last segment.
begin	Return an iterator to the beginning.
buffer	Return the referenced character buffer.
empty	Return true if there are no segments.
end	Return an iterator to the end.
front	Return the first segment.
is_absolute	Returns true if this references an absolute path.
operator=	Assignment.
operator segments_view	Conversion.
segments_encoded_view [constructor]	Constructor.
size	Return the number of segments.

Static Member Functions

Name	Description
max_size	Return the maximum number of characters possible.

Friends

Name	Description
parse_path	Parse a string and return an encoded segment view.

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.
