Struct filenamegen::Glob

pub struct Glob { /* fields omitted */ }

Represents a compiled glob expression. Depending on the pattern, evaluating the glob may use a conservative walker that tries to minimize the number of syscalls to just the directories in which pattern matching needs to occur. If the recursive glob ** pattern is used then we have no choice but to perform a full tree walk for the appropriate portions of the filesystem.

Methods

impl Glob

pub fn new(pattern: &str) -> Result<Glob>

Compile pattern into a Glob Special characters allowed in pattern: ? match any single non-directory separator character, except for a leading . in the directory entry name (this allows hiding files using the unix convention of a leading dot)

* like ? except matches 0 or more characters.

\ quotes the character that follows it, preventing it from interpreted as a special character.

**, when used in its own non-leaf directory component, acts as a recursive wildcard, matching any number of directories. When used in the leaf position it acts the same as *.

{foo,bar}.rs matches both foo.rs and bar.rs. The curly braces define an alternation regex.

pub fn walk<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Vec<PathBuf>

Walk the filesystem starting at path and execute the glob. Returns all matching entries in sorted order. The entries are relative to path.
