Non-member functions

Explore how to manage files and directories using C++17 filesystem non-member functions. Learn to work with paths, copy files, modify permissions, query file sizes, and retrieve filesystem space info to optimize your file operations.

We'll cover the following...

Read and set the last write time of a file
Getting space information to the filesystem

Many non-member functions exist for manipulating the filesystem, which are:

Non-member functions	Description
`absolute`	Composes an absolute path.
`canonical` and `weakly_canonical`	Composes a canonical path.
`relative` and `proximate`
