What is BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3 analog for BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2 path.native_file_string()?

So I try to port my old project (from boost 1.44 to 1.61) I found out that there is no path.native_file_string() in boost::filesystem v3...

So what is analog for path.native_file_string() in boost::filesystem v3? (I do not want to use v2 any more but I need such functionality as native_file_string)

Looking here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/deprecated.html the new name corresponding to

native_file_string()

is

string()

If you are talking about path::external_file_string (there is no native_file_string in Boost.FileSystem v2 currently), the equivalent is path::native. This returns a string in the host OS's format, using a string type that is native for that system (std::wstring for Windows, std::string for Linux, etc).
