NAME
FBB::Glob - Wrapper around glob(3) to find files matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/glob>
Linking option: -lbobcat
DESCRIPTION
The FBB::Glob class is a wrapper around the C function
glob(3). It returns a list of files matching a certain pattern provided to
FBB::Glob's constructors or members.
NAMESPACE
FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

ENUMERATIONS
Glob::Type:
This enumeration, which is identical to the stat(3bobcat) Type
enumeration), defines the following values:
BLOCK_DEVICE: the object represents a block device
CHARACTER_DEVICE: the object represents a character device
DIRECTORY: the object represents a directory
FIFO: the object represents a named pipe (a queue)
REGULAR_FILE: the object represents a regular file
SOCKET: the object represents a socket
SYMBOLIC_LINK: the object represents a symbolic link
ANY: any of the above types
Glob::Flags:
ERR: Return on read errors;
MARK: Append a slash to each name.
NOSORT: Don't sort the names.
NOESCAPE: Backslashes don't quote metacharacters.
PERIOD: Leading .-characters can be matched by metachars (i.e.,
* and ?).
Glob::Dots:
FIRST: Filenames starting with a dot will be listed first. Within
this set and in the leftover-set the relative ordering is maintained.
DEFAULT: Return filenames as they appear in the globbing process.
CONSTRUCTORS
Glob(std::string const &pattern = "*", int flags = PERIOD,
Dots dots = FIRST):
This constructor (which can also be used as the default constructor)
determines all elements matching pattern.
An Exception exception is thrown if the constructor could not properly
complete it tasks.
Multiple flags may be specified, separated by the bitor operator.
This constructor properly completes its task if only defined Flag
values were specified and if the glob(3) function returned without
errors.
Glob(Type type, std::string const &pattern = "*", int flags = PERIOD,
Dots dots = FIRST):
This constructor
determines all elements of pattern matching Type. The
specified type value may consist of any bitor-ed combination of
enum values defined by the Type enum. Remaining parameters and
Glob offers copy and move constructors.
OVERLOADED OPERATORS
Glob &operator=(Glob const &other):
The assignment operator is available.
Glob &operator=(Glob &&tmp):
The move-assignment operator is available.
char const *operator[](size_t idx) const:
The element at index position idx is returns as a C string. It
returns an empty string if idx is or exceeds size().
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
void verify() const:
Empty function, kept for backward compatibility.
size_t size() const:
Returns the number of elements that were detected.
char const *const *begin() const:
Returns a pointer to the first element that was detected. This pointer
can be used in generic algorithms as an output-iterator supporting pointer
arithmetic.
char const *const *end() const:
Returns a pointer beyond the last element that was detected. This
pointer can be used in generic algorithms as an output-iterator supporting
pointer arithmetic.
void swap(Glob &other):
Swaps the contents of the other object with the current object.
