Return the path.

Synopsis

template<
    class StringToken = string_token::return_string>
StringToken::result_type
path(
    StringToken&& token = {}) const;

Description

This function returns the path as a string. The path may be empty. Any percent-escapes in the string are decoded first.

Example

assert( url_view( "file:///Program%20Files/Games/config.ini" ).path() == "/Program Files/Games/config.ini" );

Complexity

Linear in this->path().size().

Exception Safety

Calls to allocate may throw.

BNF

path          = path-abempty    ; begins with "/" or is empty
              / path-absolute   ; begins with "/" but not "//"
              / path-noscheme   ; begins with a non-colon segment
              / path-rootless   ; begins with a segment
              / path-empty      ; zero characters

path-abempty  = *( "/" segment )
path-absolute = "/" [ segment-nz *( "/" segment ) ]
path-noscheme = segment-nz-nc *( "/" segment )
path-rootless = segment-nz *( "/" segment )
path-empty    = 0<pchar>
