Many of the commands can take glob patterns to operate over several files at once. Note that the patterns follow the Unix glob specification.
Several patterns can be provided at once.

# all files in all directories (the default)
poe_data_tools --patch 2 list '**'
# all .datc64 and .dds files in all subdirectories
poe_data_tools --patch 2 list '**/*.datc64' '**/*.dds'
# all files in the art/ directory
poe_data_tools --patch 2 list 'art/*'
# all files in the art/ directory and its subdirectories
poe_data_tools --patch 2 list 'art/**'
