The video tutorial explains the integration of the file system library, originally adopted from the Boost library, into new language standards. It covers the library's capabilities, such as directory manipulation, file information retrieval, and permission settings. The tutorial also discusses error handling through exceptions and error codes. Key components like the path class are highlighted, demonstrating how to create, modify, and display file paths using various methods and operators.
