glob

filename glob matcher (//#use glob, ;#use glob)

NAME
    glob - filename glob matcher (//#use glob, ;#use glob)

SYNOPSIS
    //#use glob         C:   cc splices /lib/lib_glob.c
    ;#use glob          asm: mkasm.sh appends /lib/lib_glob.inc

DESCRIPTION
    Whole-string, case-insensitive match of a name against a pattern:

        *   matches any run of characters (including none)
        ?   matches exactly one character
        (any other char matches itself, case-insensitively -- P8XFS
         names are upper-cased)

    gmatch(p, s) returns 1 on a full-string match, else 0. It is
    self-recursive (modelled on grep's matchhere), stays in the native
    p8cc.c subset, and touches only its own locals/args -- no globals,
    no I/O -- so callers keep P1/P2 etc.

    To turn a pattern into a LIST of matching paths (scanning a
    directory), use globx on top of glob -- see man globx. The asm twin
    lib_glob.inc also carries the directory-entry buffer de[] for
    commands that do their own walk (find); do not combine it with
    lib_stdin.inc, which defines gmatch/de too.
