void filesystem::rename(const path& old_p, const path& new_p); void filesystem::rename(const path& old_p, const path& new_p, error_code& ec) noexcept;
Effects: Renames old_p to new_p, as if by POSIX rename.
[Note 1:
-
If old_p and new_p resolve to the same existing file, no action is taken.
-
Otherwise, the rename can include the following effects:
if new_p resolves to an existing non-directory file, new_p is removed; otherwise,
if new_p resolves to an existing directory, new_p is removed if empty on POSIX compliant operating systems but might be an error on other operating systems.
A symbolic link is itself renamed, rather than the file it resolves to.

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].
