Returns:


Declaration 
export function
        glob              value      string file-pattern
             in-directory value      string initial-directory optional 
                     into write-only string pathnames

Argument definitions

file-pattern
is a platform-dependent pattern used to match filenames
initial-directory
is the name of the directory in which the expansion will be performed
pathnames
is used to store the expanded filenames


Purpose

The glob function is used to generate a list of filenames that match a given pattern.

The expansion of the pattern into a list of filenames is platform-dependent.

If initial-directory is not specified, it defaults to the empty string; this is interpreted as the current working directory on all platforms.

If initial-directory is specified, has a non-zero length, and does not end with a slash (/), one is appended.

When the glob function returns, the write-only string argument pathnames contains the matched filenames, if any.

The following exception may occur:
