+### std::filesystem
+The new `std::filesystem` library provides a standard way to manipulate files, directories, and paths in a filesystem.
+
+Here, a big file is copied to a temporary path if there is available space:
+```c++
+const auto bigFilePath {"bigFileToCopy"};
+if (std::filesystem::exists(bigFilePath)) {   
+  const auto bigFileSize {std::filesystem::file_size(bigFilePath)};
+  std::filesystem::path tmpPath {"/tmp"};
+  if (std::filesystem::space(tmpPath).available > bigFileSize) {
+    std::filesystem::create_directory(tmpPath.append("example"));
+    std::filesystem::copy_file(bigFilePath, tmpPath.append("newFile"));
+  }
+}
+```

 ## Acknowledgements
 * [cppreference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp) - especially useful for finding examples and documentation of new library features.
 * [C++ Rvalue References Explained](http://thbecker.net/articles/rvalue_references/section_01.html) - a great introduction I used to understand rvalue references, perfect forwarding, and move semantics.
