       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       glob.h — pathname pattern-matching types

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <glob.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 *);
