Answer Wiki:
You will probably need to use platform-specific functions to achieve that, but you did not specify what operating system the program will be running on. More details are needed. You might want to have a look at the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm">Boost Filesystem Library</a>, which provides some facilities to query and manipulate paths, files, and directories.
