Returns the internal pathname in generic pathname format, converted to specific string type. Conversion, if any, is specified in todo. The / character is used as the directory separator.

1) All memory allocations are performed by a.

2) The encoding in the case of u8string() is always UTF-8.

Parameters

a	-	allocator to construct the string with
- CharT must be one of the encoded character types (char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t)

Return value

The internal pathname in generic pathname format, converted to specified string type.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
