glob.h — pathname pattern-matching types

#include <glob.h>

The <glob.h> header defines the structures and symbolic constants used by the glob(3) 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 argument:

Append generated pathnames to those previously obtained.
Specify how many null pointers to add to the beginning of
Cause glob(3) to return on error.
Each pathname that is a directory that matches pattern has a slash appended.
If pattern does not match any pathname, then return a list consisting of only pattern .
Disable backslash escaping.
Do not sort the pathnames returned.

The following constants are defined as error return values:

The scan was stopped because GLOB_ERR was set or returned non-zero.
The pattern does not match any existing pathname, and GLOB_NOCHECK was not set in flags.
An attempt to allocate memory failed.
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_.
