Glob constants.

Functions

glob ([pat="*"], flags)

Find all files in this directory matching a shell pattern.

Constants

posix.glob

Glob constants.

Fields:

• GLOB_MARK int append slashes to matches that are directories.
• GLOB_ERR int instead of ignoring non-readable directories, return GLOB_ABORTED
• GLOB_ABORTED int encountered a non-readable directory
• GLOB_NOCHECK int return the original pattern if there are no matches
• GLOB_NOMATCH int pattern does not match any existing pathname
• GLOB_NOSPACE int not enough memory to continue

Usage:

-- Print glob constants supported on this host.
for name, value in pairs (require "posix.glob") do
  if type (value) == "number" then
    print (name, value)
  end
