The <glob.h> header shall define the structures and symbolic constants used by the glob() function. The <glob.h> header shall define the glob_t structure type, which shall include 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 <glob.h> header shall define the size_t type as described in <sys/types.h>. The <glob.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants 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 gl_pathv. 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 <glob.h> header shall define the following symbolic constants as error return values: GLOB_ABORTED The scan was stopped because GLOB_ERR was set or (*errfunc)() 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. The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided. int glob(const char *restrict, int, int(*)(const char *, int), glob_t *restrict); void globfree(glob_t *); Thefollowingsectionsareinformative.
