glob(5)                                                             glob(5)

NAME
     glob - pathname pattern-matching types

SYNOPSIS
     #include <glob.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The glob.h header defines the structures and symbolic constants used
     by the glob(3C) function. The structure type globt contains at least
     the following members:

     size-t glpathc     Count of paths matched by pattern.
     char **glpathv     Pointer to a list of matched pathnames.
     sizet gloffs      Slots to reserve at the beginning of glpathv.

     The following constants are provided as values for the flags argument:

     GLOBAPPEND       Append generated pathnames to those previously
                       obtained.

     GLOBDOOFFS       Specify how many null pointers to add to the begin-
                       ning of pglob->glpathv.

     GLOBERR          Cause glob() to return on error.

     GLOBMARK         Each pathname that is a directory that matches pat-
                       tern has a slash appended.

     GLOBNOCHECK      If pattern does not match any pathname, then return
                       a list consisting of only pattern.

     GLOBNOESCAPE     Disable backslash escaping.

     GLOBNOSORT       Do not sort the pathnames returned.

     The following constants are defined as error return values:

     GLOBABORTED      The scan was stopped because GLOBERR was set or
                       (*errfunc)() returned non-zero.

     GLOBBADPAT       An invalid pattern was specified.

     GLOBNOMATCH      The pattern does not match any existing pathname,
                       and GLOBNOCHECK was not set in flags.

     GLOBNOSPACE      An attempt to allocate memory failed.

     GLOBNOSYS        The implementation does not support this function.

glob(5)                                                             glob(5)

     The following are declared as functions and may also be declared as
     macros:

     int glob(const char *pattern, int flags, int (*errfunc)
                   (const char *epath, int eerrno), globt *pglob);
     void globfree (globt *pglob);

     The implementation may define additional macros or constants using
     names beginning with GLOB.
