# `glob` --- Unix style pathname pattern expansion

Source code: Lib/glob.py

The `glob` module finds all the pathnames matching a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix shell, although results are returned in arbitrary order. No tilde expansion is done, but `*`, `?`, and character ranges expressed with `[]` will be correctly matched. This is done by using the `os.scandir()` and `fnmatch.fnmatch()` functions in concert, and not by actually invoking a subshell. Note that unlike `fnmatch.fnmatch()`, `glob` treats filenames beginning with a dot (`.`) as special cases. (For tilde and shell variable expansion, use `os.path.expanduser()` and `os.path.expandvars()`.)

对于字面值匹配，请将原字符用方括号括起来。 例如，`'[?]'` 将匹配字符 `'?'`。

`pathlib` 模块提供高级路径对象。

`glob.``glob`(pathname, *, recursive=False)

  Return a possibly-empty list of path names that match pathname, which must be a string containing a path specification. pathname can be either absolute (like `/usr/src/Python-1.5/Makefile`) or relative (like `../../Tools/*/*.gif`), and can contain shell-style wildcards. Broken symlinks are included in the results (as in the shell). Whether or not the results are sorted depends on the file system.

  If recursive is true, the pattern "`**`" will match any files and zero or more directories, subdirectories and symbolic links to directories. If the pattern is followed by an `os.sep` or `os.altsep` then files will not match.

  Raises an auditing event `glob.glob` with arguments `pathname`, `recursive`.

  在一个较大的目录树中使用 "`**`" 模式可能会消耗非常多的时间。

  在 3.5 版更改: Support for recursive globs using "`**`".

`glob.``iglob`(pathname, *, recursive=False)

  Return an iterator which yields the same values as `glob()` without actually storing them all simultaneously.

  Raises an auditing event `glob.glob` with arguments `pathname`, `recursive`.

`glob.``escape`(pathname)

  Escape all special characters (`'?'`, `'*'` and `'['`). This is useful if you want to match an arbitrary literal string that may have special characters in it. Special characters in drive/UNC sharepoints are not escaped, e.g. on Windows `escape('//?/c:/Quo vadis?.txt')` returns `'//?/c:/Quo vadis[?].txt'`.

For example, consider a directory containing the following files: `1.gif`, `2.txt`, `card.gif` and a subdirectory `sub` which contains only the file `3.txt`. `glob()` will produce the following results. Notice how any leading components of the path are preserved.

    >>> import glob
    >>> glob.glob('./[0-9].*')
    ['./1.gif', './2.txt']
    >>> glob.glob('*.gif')
    ['1.gif', 'card.gif']
    >>> glob.glob('?.gif')
    ['1.gif']
    >>> glob.glob('**/*.txt', recursive=True)
    ['2.txt', 'sub/3.txt']
    >>> glob.glob('./**/', recursive=True)
    ['./', './sub/']

If the directory contains files starting with `.` they won't be matched by default. For example, consider a directory containing `card.gif` and `.card.gif`:

    >>> import glob
    >>> glob.glob('*.gif')
    ['card.gif']
    >>> glob.glob('.c*')
    ['.card.gif']
