.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
function
|
|
is a pathname generator that implements the rules for file name pattern
|
|
matching used by the shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The include file
|
|
.Pa glob.h
|
|
defines the structure type
|
|
.Fa glob_t ,
|
|
which contains at least the following fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
int gl_pathc; /* count of total paths so far */
|
|
int gl_matchc; /* count of paths matching pattern */
|
|
int gl_offs; /* reserved at beginning of gl_pathv */
|
|
int gl_flags; /* returned flags */
|
|
char **gl_pathv; /* list of paths matching pattern */
|
|
} glob_t;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
is a pointer to a pathname pattern to be expanded.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
argument
|
|
matches all accessible pathnames against the pattern and creates
|
|
a list of the pathnames that match.
|
|
In order to have access to a pathname,
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
requires search permission on every component of a path except the last
|
|
and read permission on each directory of any filename component of
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
that contains any of the special characters
|
|
.Ql * ,
|
|
.Ql ?\&
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql \&[ .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
argument
|
|
stores the number of matched pathnames into the
|
|
.Fa gl_pathc
|
|
field, and a pointer to a list of pointers to pathnames into the
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv
|
|
field.
|
|
The first pointer after the last pathname is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
If the pattern does not match any pathnames, the returned number of
|
|
matched paths is set to zero.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is the caller's responsibility to create the structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa pglob .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
function allocates other space as needed, including the memory pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is used to modify the behavior of
|
|
.Fn glob .
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is the bitwise inclusive
|
|
.Tn OR
|
|
of any of the following
|
|
values defined in
|
|
.Pa glob.h :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_APPEND
|
|
Append pathnames generated to the ones from a previous call (or calls)
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn glob .
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa gl_pathc
|
|
will be the total matches found by this call and the previous call(s).
|
|
The pathnames are appended to, not merged with the pathnames returned by
|
|
the previous call(s).
|
|
Between calls, the caller must not change the setting of the
|
|
.Dv GLOB_DOOFFS
|
|
flag, nor change the value of
|
|
.Fa gl_offs
|
|
when
|
|
.Dv GLOB_DOOFFS
|
|
is set, nor (obviously) call
|
|
.Fn globfree
|
|
for
|
|
.Fa pglob .
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_DOOFFS
|
|
Make use of the
|
|
.Fa gl_offs
|
|
field.
|
|
If this flag is set,
|
|
.Fa gl_offs
|
|
is used to specify how many
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointers to prepend to the beginning
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv
|
|
field.
|
|
In other words,
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv
|
|
will point to
|
|
.Fa gl_offs
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointers,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Fa gl_pathc
|
|
pathname pointers, followed by a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_ERR
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
to return when it encounters a directory that it cannot open or read.
|
|
Ordinarily,
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
continues to find matches.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_MARK
|
|
Each pathname that is a directory that matches
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
has a slash
|
|
appended.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_NOCHECK
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
does not match any pathname, then
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
returns a list
|
|
consisting of only
|
|
.Fa pattern ,
|
|
with the number of total pathnames is set to 1, and the number of matched
|
|
pathnames set to 0.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv GLOB_QUOTE
|
|
is set, its effect is present in the pattern returned.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_NOSORT
|
|
By default, the pathnames are sorted in ascending
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
order;
|
|
this flag prevents that sorting (speeding up
|
|
.Fn glob ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following values may also be included in
|
|
.Fa flags ,
|
|
however, they are non-standard extensions to
|
|
.St -p1003.2 .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC
|
|
The following additional fields in the pglob structure have been
|
|
initialized with alternate functions for glob to use to open, read,
|
|
and close directories and to get stat information on names found
|
|
in those directories.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
void *(*gl_opendir)(const char * name);
|
|
struct dirent *(*gl_readdir)(void *);
|
|
void (*gl_closedir)(void *);
|
|
int (*gl_lstat)(const char *name, struct stat *st);
|
|
int (*gl_stat)(const char *name, struct stat *st);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This extension is provided to allow programs such as
|
|
.Xr restore 8
|
|
to provide globbing from directories stored on tape.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_BRACE
|
|
Pre-process the pattern string to expand
|
|
.Ql {pat,pat,...}
|
|
strings like
|
|
.Xr csh 1 .
|
|
The pattern
|
|
.Ql {}
|
|
is left unexpanded for historical reasons (and
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
does the same thing to
|
|
ease typing
|
|
of
|
|
.Xr find 1
|
|
patterns).
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_MAGCHAR
|
|
Set by the
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
function if the pattern included globbing characters.
|
|
See the description of the usage of the
|
|
.Fa gl_matchc
|
|
structure member for more details.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_NOMAGIC
|
|
Is the same as
|
|
.Dv GLOB_NOCHECK
|
|
but it only appends the
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
if it does not contain any of the special characters ``*'', ``?'' or ``[''.
|
|
.Dv GLOB_NOMAGIC
|
|
is provided to simplify implementing the historic
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
globbing behavior and should probably not be used anywhere else.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_QUOTE
|
|
Use the backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e
|
|
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.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_TILDE
|
|
Expand patterns that start with
|
|
.Ql ~
|
|
to user name home directories.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_LIMIT
|
|
Limit the total number of returned pathnames to the value provided in
|
|
.Fa gl_matchc
|
|
(default
|
|
.Dv ARG_MAX ) .
|
|
This option should be set for programs
|
|
that can be coerced into a denial of service attack
|
|
via patterns that expand to a very large number of matches,
|
|
such as a long string of
|
|
.Ql */../*/.. .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If, during the search, a directory is encountered that cannot be opened
|
|
or read and
|
|
.Fa errfunc
|
|
is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
calls
|
|
.Fa \*(lp*errfunc\*(rp Ns ( Fa path , errno ) .
|
|
This may be unintuitive: a pattern like
|
|
.Ql */Makefile
|
|
will try to
|
|
.Xr stat 2
|
|
.Ql foo/Makefile
|
|
even if
|
|
.Ql foo
|
|
is not a directory, resulting in a
|
|
call to
|
|
.Fa errfunc .
|
|
The error routine can suppress this action by testing for
|
|
.Er ENOENT
|
|
and
|
|
.Er ENOTDIR ;
|
|
however, the
|
|
.Dv GLOB_ERR
|
|
flag will still cause an immediate
|
|
return when this happens.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa errfunc
|
|
returns non-zero,
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
stops the scan and returns
|
|
.Dv GLOB_ABEND
|
|
after setting
|
|
.Fa gl_pathc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv
|
|
to reflect any paths already matched.
|
|
This also happens if an error is encountered and
|
|
.Dv GLOB_ERR
|
|
is set in
|
|
.Fa flags ,
|
|
regardless of the return value of
|
|
.Fa errfunc ,
|
|
if called.
|
|
If
|
|
.Dv GLOB_ERR
|
|
is not set and either
|
|
.Fa errfunc
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa errfunc
|
|
returns zero, the error is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn globfree
|
|
function frees any space associated with
|
|
.Fa pglob
|
|
from a previous call(s) to
|
|
.Fn glob .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
On successful completion,
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
returns zero.
|
|
In addition the fields of
|
|
.Fa pglob
|
|
contain the values described below:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width GLOB_NOCHECK
|
|
.It Fa gl_pathc
|
|
contains the total number of matched pathnames so far.
|
|
This includes other matches from previous invocations of
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
if
|
|
.Dv GLOB_APPEND
|
|
was specified.
|
|
.It Fa gl_matchc
|
|
contains the number of matched pathnames in the current invocation of
|
|
.Fn glob .
|
|
.It Fa gl_flags
|
|
contains a copy of the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
parameter with the bit
|
|
.Dv GLOB_MAGCHAR
|
|
set if
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
contained any of the special characters ``*'', ``?'' or ``['', cleared
|
|
if not.
|
|
.It Fa gl_pathv
|
|
contains a pointer to a
|
|
.Dv NULL Ns -terminated
|
|
list of matched pathnames.
|
|
However, if
|
|
.Fa gl_pathc
|
|
is zero, the contents of
|
|
.Fa gl_pathv
|
|
are undefined.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn glob
|
|
terminates due to an error, it sets errno and returns one of the
|
|
following non-zero constants, which are defined in the include
|
|
file
|
|
.Aq Pa glob.h :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width GLOB_NOCHECK
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_NOSPACE
|
|
An attempt to allocate memory failed, or if
|
|
.Fa errno
|
|
was 0
|
|
.Dv GLOB_LIMIT
|
|
was specified in the flags and
|
|
.Fa pglob\->gl_matchc
|
|
or more patterns were matched.
|
|
.It Dv GLOB_ABEND
|
|
The scan was stopped because an error was encountered and either
|
|
.Dv GLOB_ERR
|
|
was set or
|
|
.Fa \*(lp*errfunc\*(rp\*(lp\*(rp
|
|
returned non-zero.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The arguments
|
|
.Fa pglob\->gl_pathc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa pglob\->gl_pathv
|
|
are still set as specified above.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
A rough equivalent of
|
|
.Ql "ls -l *.c *.h"
|
|
can be obtained with the
|
|
following code:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|

|
|
|
|
g.gl_offs = 2;
|
|
glob("*.c", GLOB_DOOFFS, NULL, &g);
