const directory_entry& operator*() const;         const directory_entry* operator->() const;		(since C++17)

Accesses the pointed-to directory_entry.

The result of operator* or operator-> on the end iterator is undefined behavior.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

1) Value of the directory_entry referred to by this iterator

2) Pointer to the directory_entry referred to by this iterator

Exceptions
