- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <glob.h>
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .IR <glob.h>
- header shall define the structures and symbolic constants used by the
- \fIglob\fR()
- function.
- .P
- The
- .IR <glob.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR glob_t
- structure type, which shall include at least the following members:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- size_t gl_pathc \fRCount of paths matched by \fIpattern.\fR
- char **gl_pathv \fRPointer to a list of matched pathnames.\fR
- size_t gl_offs \fRSlots to reserve at the beginning of \fIgl_pathv.\fR

- .P
- .RE
- .P
- The
- .IR <glob.h>
- header shall define the
- .BR size_t
- type as described in
- .IR <sys/types.h> .
- .P
- The
- .IR <glob.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constants as values for the
- .IR flags
- argument:
- .IP GLOB_APPEND 14
- Append generated pathnames to those previously obtained.
- .IP GLOB_DOOFFS 14
- Specify how many null pointers to add to the beginning of
- .IR gl_pathv .
- .IP GLOB_ERR 14
- Cause
- \fIglob\fR()
- to return on error.
- .IP GLOB_MARK 14
- Each pathname that is a directory that matches
- .IR pattern
- has a
- <slash>
- appended.
- .IP GLOB_NOCHECK 14
- If
- .IR pattern
- does not match any pathname, then return a list consisting of only
- .IR pattern .
- .IP GLOB_NOESCAPE 14
- Disable backslash escaping.
- .IP GLOB_NOSORT 14
- Do not sort the pathnames returned.
- .P
- The
- .IR <glob.h>
- header shall define the following symbolic constants as error
- return values:
- .IP GLOB_ABORTED 14
- The scan was stopped because GLOB_ERR was set or (*\fIerrfunc\fP)(\|)
- returned non-zero.
- .IP GLOB_NOMATCH 14
- The pattern does not match any existing pathname, and GLOB_NOCHECK was
- not set in
- .IR flags .
- .IP GLOB_NOSPACE 14
- An attempt to allocate memory failed.
- .P
- The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined
- as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- int glob(const char *restrict, int, int(*)(const char *, int),
- glob_t *restrict);
- void globfree(glob_t *);
