NAME

       gfs_glob - find path names matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gfarm/gfarm.h>

       char *gfs_glob (const char * pattern, gfarm_stringlist * paths, gfs_glob_t * types);

DESCRIPTION

       gfs_glob()  searches  for all the path names matching pattern that may include a wildcard,
       and returns paths.

       The   returned   path   names   are    accessed    by    gfarm_stringlist_length(3)    and
       gfarm_stringlist_elem(3).

       It  is  necessary  to  allocate  memory  space  dynamically  pointed  to  by  types  using
       gfs_glob_init(3) before calling gfs_glob(3).  The  allocated  memory  space  needs  to  be
       free'ed by gfs_glob_free(3).

RETURN VALUES

       NULL   The function terminated successfully.

       GFARM_ERR_NO_MEMORY
              Insufficient memory was available.

       GFARM_ERR_PATHNAME_TOO_LONG
              Too long pattern or path name to process.

       Others An error except the above occurred.  The reason is shown by its pointed strings.
