Struct globset::Glob [−][src]
pub struct Glob { /* fields omitted */ }Glob represents a successfully parsed shell glob pattern.
It cannot be used directly to match file paths, but it can be converted to a regular expression string or a matcher.
Implementations
impl Glob[src]
impl Glob[src]pub fn new(glob: &str) -> Result<Glob, Error>[src]
Builds a new pattern with default options.
pub fn compile_matcher(&self) -> GlobMatcher[src]
Returns a matcher for this pattern.
pub fn glob(&self) -> &str[src]
Returns the original glob pattern used to build this pattern.
pub fn regex(&self) -> &str[src]
Returns the regular expression string for this glob.
Note that regular expressions for globs are intended to be matched on
arbitrary bytes (&[u8]) instead of Unicode strings (&str). In
particular, globs are frequently used on file paths, where there is no
general guarantee that file paths are themselves valid UTF-8. As a
result, callers will need to ensure that they are using a regex API
that can match on arbitrary bytes. For example, the
regex
crate’s
Regex
API is not suitable for this since it matches on &str, but its
bytes::Regex
API is suitable for this.
