Shell pattern matching similar to golang's path.Match.

The pattern syntax is:

pattern:
{ term }
term:
'*'         matches any sequence of non-/ characters
'?'         matches any single non-/ character
'[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
character class (must be non-empty)
c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
'\\' c      matches character c

character-range:
c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
'\\' c      matches character c
lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring.

Use [GlobPattern::new(pattern)][GlobPattern::new] to construct a new instance.

Features

• proc-macro: allows using the glob!("<PATTERN>") procedural macro (see [glob!()][glob]).
• serde: enables serde deserialization of string patterns.
