macOS Clang C++17 filesystem header not found

Question

I need to write a program using the (experimental) C++17 filesystem library but clang on my Mac (macOS 10.12.03) doesn\'t seem to

Recursive directory walk using ftw in c, more details here.

On, -std=c++17 for macOS version 10.xx, filesystem header is not available.

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

 
int list(const char *name, const struct stat *status, int type)
{
     if (type == FTW_NS)
     {
         return 0;
     }

     if (type == FTW_F)
     {
         printf("0%3o\t%s\n", status->st_mode&0777, name);
     }

     if (type == FTW_D && strcmp(".", name) != 0)
     {
         printf("0%3o\t%s/\n", status->st_mode&0777, name);
     }
     return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     if(argc == 1)
     {
         ftw(".", list, 1);
     }
     else
     {
         ftw(argv[1], list, 1);
     }

     return 0;
}

output looks like following:
