Crate globby

Globby is a library designed for searching all items in a given directory that match a glob pattern.

Examples

use globby::{PatternOpts, glob};

let pattern = glob("**/*.*").unwrap();

for path in pattern {
  println!("{}", path.unwrap().display());
}

This library should work on any platform.

Comparing to glob

The well-known glob library is more polished and has a lot more options, but also opinionated defaults that differ from this library, such as:

• The base directory is not yielded in the results
• Symbolic links are always followed
• Directories are always yielded before their descendents
• Alternate groups (matching either one sub-pattern or another) is supported
• ** matches anything, including files an hidden directories
