Complete Modern C++ - Filesystem - Directory Functions

The video tutorial covers directory functions in a file system library. It begins with checking if a path exists using the 'exists' function, followed by creating and deleting directories while handling potential errors. The tutorial then explores the 'current path' function, demonstrating how to change and verify paths, and discusses exception handling. It introduces error handling using error codes and concludes with a brief mention of file permissions, which will be covered in the next lecture.
