< cpp‎ | experimental‎ | fs‎ | path

template< class CharT, class Traits > std::basic_ostream <CharT,Traits>& operator<<( std::basic_ostream <CharT,Traits>& os, const path& p ); | (1) | (filesystem TS)
template< class CharT, class Traits > std::basic_istream <CharT,Traits>& operator>>( std::basic_istream <CharT,Traits>& is, path& p ); | (2) | (filesystem TS)

Performs stream input or output on the path `p`. std::quoted is used so that spaces do not cause truncation when later read by stream input operator.

### Parameters

os | - | stream to perform output on
is | - | stream to perform input on
p | - | path to insert or extract

### Return value

1) os
2) is

### Exceptions

(none)

### Possible implementation

First version

    template< class CharT, class Traits >
    std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>&
        operator<<( std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>& os, const path& p )
    {
        os << std::quoted(p.string<CharT,Traits>());
        return os;
    }

Second version

    template< class CharT, class Traits >
    std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>&
        operator>>( std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>& is, path& p )
    {
        std::basic_string<CharT, Traits> t;
        is >> std::quoted(t);
        p = t;
        return is;
    }
