Functions

std::vector<std::string> expand_glob(const std::string &pattern)

Expands a given glob pattern into a list of matching file paths.

This function takes a glob pattern as input and returns a vector of strings containing the paths that match the pattern. It supports standard glob rules extended with tilde expansion and brace expansion. If the pattern doesn’t contain any wildcards then it is placed in the returned vector as is. Paths that cannot be accessed are displayed on std::cerr, but the expansion process is not aborted. On platforms without <glob.h> no expansion is done and vector containing the original pattern is returned

Parameters:

pattern – The glob pattern to expand.

Throws:

std::runtime_error – If no matches are found or if there is an error during glob expansion.

Returns:

A vector of strings containing the matching file paths.

bool is_glob_pattern(const std::string &pattern)

Checks if a given pattern is a glob pattern.

This function determines whether the provided pattern contains any standard glob or brace expansion wildcards.

Parameters:

pattern – The pattern to check.

Returns:

true if the pattern is a glob pattern, false otherwise.
