Warning

Symbols prefixed with either RBIMPL or rbimpl are implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere anytime at will.

Note

To ruby-core: remember that this header can be possibly recursively included from extension libraries written in C++. Do not expect for instance __VA_ARGS__ is always available. We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of extension libraries. They could be written in C++98.

Typedef Documentation

ruby_glob_func

typedef int ruby_glob_func(const char *path, VALUE arg, void *enc)

Type of a glob callback function.

Called every time glob scans a path.

Parameters

[in]	path	The path in question.
[in]	arg	The argument passed to rb_glob().
[in]	enc	Encoding of the path.

Return values

-1	Not enough memory to do the operation.
0	Operation successful.
otherwise	Opaque exception state.

Note

You can use rb_protect() to generate the return value.

Function Documentation

rb_glob()

void rb_glob	(	const char *	pattern,
		void(*)(const char *path, VALUE arg, void *enc)	func,
		VALUE	arg
	)

The "glob" operator.

Expands the given pattern against the actual local filesystem, then iterates over the expanded filenames by calling the callback function.

Parameters

[in]	pattern	A glob pattern.
[in]	func	Identical to ruby_glob_func, except it can raise exceptions instead of returning opaque state.
[in]	arg	Extra argument passed to func.

Exceptions

rb_eException

Can propagate what func raises.

Note

The language accepted as the pattern is not a regular expression. It resembles shell's glob.

ruby_brace_glob()

int ruby_brace_glob	(	const char *	pattern,
		int	flags,
		ruby_glob_func *	func,
		VALUE	arg
	)

Identical to ruby_glob(), @shyouhei currently suspects.

Historically you had to call this function instead of ruby_glob() if the pattern included "{x,y,...}" syntax. However since commit 0f63d961169989a7f6dcf7c0487fe29da, ruby_glob() also supports that syntax. It seems as of writing these two functions provide basically the same functionality in a different implementation. Is this analysis right? Correct me! :FIXME:

Parameters

[in]	pattern	A glob pattern.
[in]	flags	No, you are not allowed to use this. Just pass 0.
[in]	func	A callback function.
[in]	arg	Extra argument passed to func.

Returns

Return value of func.

ruby_glob()

int ruby_glob	(	const char *	pattern,
		int	flags,
		ruby_glob_func *	func,
		VALUE	arg
	)

Identical to rb_glob(), except it returns opaque exception states instead of raising exceptions.

Parameters

[in]	pattern	A glob pattern.
[in]	flags	No, you are not allowed to use this. Just pass 0.
[in]	func	A callback function.
[in]	arg	Extra argument passed to func.

Returns

Return value of func.
