[fs.op.current.path]

🔗

path filesystem::current_path();
path filesystem::current_path(error_code& ec);

Returns: The absolute path of the current working directory, whose pathname in the native format is obtained as if by POSIX getcwd .

The signature with argument ec returns path() if an error occurs.

Remarks: The current working directory is the directory, associated with the process, that is used as the starting location in pathname resolution for relative paths.

[Note 1:

The current path as returned by many operating systems is a dangerous global variable and can be changed unexpectedly by third-party or system library functions, or by another thread.

[Note 2:
