glob.h - pathname pattern-matching types
#include <glob.h>
The <glob.h> header defines the structures and symbolic constants used by the glob() function.The structure type contains at least the following members:
size_t gl_pathc count of paths matched by pattern char **gl_pathv pointer to a list of matched pathnames size_t gl_offs slots to reserve at the beginning of gl_pathv
The following constants are provided as values for the flags argument:
- GLOB_APPEND
- Append generated pathnames to those previously obtained.
- GLOB_DOOFFS
- Specify how many null pointers to add to the beginning of
- GLOB_ERR
- Cause glob() to return on error.
- GLOB_MARK
- Each pathname that is a directory that matches pattern has a slash appended.
- GLOB_NOCHECK
- If pattern does not match any pathname, then return a list consisting of only pattern.
- GLOB_NOESCAPE
- Disable backslash escaping.
- GLOB_NOSORT
- Do not sort the pathnames returned.
The following constants are defined as error return values:
- GLOB_ABORTED
- The scan was stopped because GLOB_ERR was set or returned non-zero.
- GLOB_NOMATCH
- The pattern does not match any existing pathname, and GLOB_NOCHECK was not set in flags.
- GLOB_NOSPACE
- An attempt to allocate memory failed.
- GLOB_NOSYS
- The implementation does not support this function.
The following are declared as functions and may also be declared as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler.
int glob(const char *, int, int (*)(const char *, int), glob_t *); void globfree (glob_t *);
The implementation may define additional macros or constants using names beginning with GLOB_.
