Return the path as a container of segments

== Synopsis

Declared in `<https://www.github.com/boostorg/url/blob/develop/include/boost/url/url_base.hpp#L1962[boost/url/url_base.hpp]>`

xref:boost/urls/segments_encoded_view.adoc[segments_encoded_view]
encoded_segments() const noexcept;
----

== Description

This function returns a bidirectional view of strings over the path. The returned view references the same underlying character buffer; ownership is not transferred. Strings returned when iterating the range may contain percent escapes.

== Example
[,cpp]
----
segments_encoded_view sv = url_view( "/path/to/file.txt" ).encoded_segments();
----
== Complexity
Constant.

== Exception Safety
Throws nothing.

== BNF
[,cpp]
----
path          = path-abempty    ; begins with "/" or is empty
              / path-absolute   ; begins with "/" but not "//"
              / path-noscheme   ; begins with a non-colon segment
              / path-rootless   ; begins with a segment
              / path-empty      ; zero characters

path-abempty  = *( "/" segment )
path-absolute = "/" [ segment-nz *( "/" segment ) ]
path-noscheme = segment-nz-nc *( "/" segment )
path-rootless = segment-nz *( "/" segment )
path-empty    = 0<pchar>

== Specification

== Return Value

A bidirectional view of encoded segments&period;
