File::BSDGlob Description

File::BSDGlob is a Perl extension for BSD glob routine. File::BSDGlob is a Perl extension for BSD glob routine.SYNOPSIS use File::BSDGlob ':glob'; @list = glob('*.'); $homedir = glob('~gnat', GLOB_TILDE | GLOB_ERR); if (GLOB_ERROR) { # an error occurred reading $homedir } ## override the core glob (even with -T) use File::BSDGlob 'globally'; my @sources = File::BSDGlob implements the FreeBSD glob(3) routine, which is a superset of the POSIX glob() (described in IEEE Std 1003.2 "POSIX.2"). The glob() routine takes a mandatory pattern argument, and an optional flags argument, and returns a list of filenames matching the pattern, with interpretation of the pattern modified by the flags variable. The POSIX defined flags are:GLOB_ERRForce glob() to return an error when it encounters a directory it cannot open or read. Ordinarily glob() continues to find matches.GLOB_MARKEach pathname that is a directory that matches the pattern has a slash appended.GLOB_NOCHECKIf the pattern does not match any pathname, then glob() returns a list consisting of only the pattern. If GLOB_QUOTE is set, its effect is present in the pattern returned.GLOB_NOSORTBy default, the pathnames are sorted in ascending ASCII order; this flag prevents that sorting (speeding up glob()).The FreeBSD extensions to the POSIX standard are the following flags:GLOB_BRACEPre-process the string to expand {pat,pat,...} strings like csh(1). The pattern '{}' is left unexpanded for historical reasons (and csh(1) does the same thing to ease typing of find(1) patterns).GLOB_NOMAGICSame as GLOB_NOCHECK but it only returns the pattern if it does not contain any of the special characters "*", "?" or "[". NOMAGIC is provided to simplify implementing the historic csh(1) globbing behaviour and should probably not be used anywhere else.GLOB_QUOTEUse the backslash ('') character for quoting: every occurrence of a backslash followed by a character in the pattern is replaced by that character, avoiding any special interpretation of the character.GLOB_TILDEExpand patterns that start with '~' to user name home directories.GLOB_CSHFor convenience, GLOB_CSH is a synonym for GLOB_BRACE | GLOB_NOMAGIC | GLOB_QUOTE | GLOB_TILDE.The POSIX provided GLOB_APPEND, GLOB_DOOFFS, and the FreeBSD extensions GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC, and GLOB_MAGCHAR flags have not been implemented in the Perl version because they involve more complex interaction with the underlying C structures.
