## About

#### [Upgrading?](UPGRADING.md)

**doublestar** is a [golang] implementation of path pattern matching and
globbing with support for "doublestar" (aka globstar: `**`) patterns.

doublestar patterns match files and directories recursively. For example, if
you had the following directory structure:

```bash
grandparent
`-- parent
    |-- child1
    `-- child2
```

You could find the children with patterns such as: `**/child*`,
`grandparent/**/child?`, `**/parent/*`, or even just `**` by itself (which will
return all files and directories recursively).

Bash's globstar is doublestar's inspiration and, as such, works similarly.
Note that the doublestar must appear as a path component by itself. A pattern
such as `/path**` is invalid and will be treated the same as `/path*`, but
`/path*/**` should achieve the desired result. Additionally, `/path/**` will
match all directories and files under the path directory, but `/path/**/` will
only match directories.

v4 is a complete rewrite with a focus on performance. Additionally,
[doublestar] has been updated to use the new [io/fs] package for filesystem
access. As a result, it is only supported by [golang] v1.16+.

## Installation

**doublestar** can be installed via `go get`:

```bash
go get github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar/v4
```

To use it in your code, you must import it:

```go
import "github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar/v4"
```

## Usage

### Match

```go
func Match(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
```

Match returns true if `name` matches the file name `pattern` ([see
"patterns"]). `name` and `pattern` are split on forward slash (`/`) characters
and may be relative or absolute.

Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring. The only
possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern is malformed.

Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for `path.Match()` which always
uses `'/'` as the path separator. If you want to support systems which use a
different path separator (such as Windows), what you want is `PathMatch()`.
Alternatively, you can run `filepath.ToSlash()` on both pattern and name and
then use this function.


### PathMatch

```go
func PathMatch(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
```

PathMatch returns true if `name` matches the file name `pattern` ([see
"patterns"]). The difference between Match and PathMatch is that PathMatch will
automatically use your system's path separator to split `name` and `pattern`.
On systems where the path separator is `'\'`, escaping will be disabled.

Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for `filepath.Match()`. It assumes
that both `pattern` and `name` are using the system's path separator. If you
can't be sure of that, use `filepath.ToSlash()` on both `pattern` and `name`,
and then use the `Match()` function instead.

### Glob

```go
func Glob(fsys fs.FS, pattern string) ([]string, error)
```

Glob returns the names of all files matching pattern or nil if there is no
matching file. The syntax of patterns is the same as in `Match()`. The pattern
may describe hierarchical names such as `usr/*/bin/ed`.

Glob ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories.  The
only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, reporting that the pattern is
malformed.

Note: this is meant as a drop-in replacement for `io/fs.Glob()`. Like
`io/fs.Glob()`, this function assumes that your pattern uses `/` as the path
separator even if that's not correct for your OS (like Windows). If you aren't
sure if that's the case, you can use `filepath.ToSlash()` on your pattern
before calling `Glob()`.

Like `io/fs.Glob()`, patterns containing `/./`, `/../`, or starting with `/`
will return no results and no errors. This seems to be a [conscious
decision](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44092#issuecomment-774132549),
even if counter-intuitive. You can use [SplitPattern] to divide a pattern into
a base path (to initialize an `FS` object) and pattern.

### GlobWalk

```go
type GlobWalkFunc func(path string, d fs.DirEntry) error

func GlobWalk(fsys fs.FS, pattern string, fn GlobWalkFunc) error
```

GlobWalk calls the callback function `fn` for every file matching pattern.  The
syntax of pattern is the same as in Match() and the behavior is the same as
Glob(), with regard to limitations (such as patterns containing `/./`, `/../`,
or starting with `/`). The pattern may describe hierarchical names such as
usr/*/bin/ed.

GlobWalk may have a small performance benefit over Glob if you do not need a
slice of matches because it can avoid allocating memory for the matches.
Additionally, GlobWalk gives you access to the `fs.DirEntry` objects for each
match, and lets you quit early by returning a non-nil error from your callback
function.

GlobWalk ignores file system errors such as I/O errors reading directories.
GlobWalk may return ErrBadPattern, reporting that the pattern is malformed.
Additionally, if the callback function `fn` returns an error, GlobWalk will
exit immediately and return that error.

Like Glob(), this function assumes that your pattern uses `/` as the path
separator even if that's not correct for your OS (like Windows). If you aren't
sure if that's the case, you can use filepath.ToSlash() on your pattern before
calling GlobWalk().

### SplitPattern

```go
func SplitPattern(p string) (base, pattern string)
```

SplitPattern is a utility function. Given a pattern, SplitPattern will return
two strings: the first string is everything up to the last slash (`/`) that
appears _before_ any unescaped "meta" characters (ie, `*?[{`).  The second
string is everything after that slash. For example, given the pattern:

```
../../path/to/meta*/**
             ^----------- split here
```

SplitPattern returns "../../path/to" and "meta*/**". This is useful for
initializing os.DirFS() to call Glob() because Glob() will silently fail if
your pattern includes `/./` or `/../`. For example:

```go
base, pattern := SplitPattern("../../path/to/meta*/**")
fsys := os.DirFS(base)
matches, err := Glob(fsys, pattern)
```

If SplitPattern cannot find somewhere to split the pattern (for example,
`meta*/**`), it will return "." and the unaltered pattern (`meta*/**` in this
example).

Of course, it is your responsibility to decide if the returned base path is
"safe" in the context of your application. Perhaps you could use Match() to
validate against a list of approved base directories?

### ValidatePattern

```go
func ValidatePattern(s string) bool
```

Validate a pattern. Patterns are validated while they run in Match(),
PathMatch(), and Glob(), so, you normally wouldn't need to call this.  However,
there are cases where this might be useful: for example, if your program allows
a user to enter a pattern that you'll run at a later time, you might want to
validate it.

ValidatePattern assumes your pattern uses '/' as the path separator.

### ValidatePathPattern

```go
func ValidatePathPattern(s string) bool
```

Like ValidatePattern, only uses your OS path separator. In other words, use
ValidatePattern if you would normally use Match() or Glob(). Use
ValidatePathPattern if you would normally use PathMatch(). Keep in mind, Glob()
requires '/' separators, even if your OS uses something else.

### Patterns

**doublestar** supports the following special terms in the patterns:

Special Terms | Meaning
------------- | -------
`*`           | matches any sequence of non-path-separators
`/**/`        | matches zero or more directories
`?`           | matches any single non-path-separator character
`[class]`     | matches any single non-path-separator character against a class of characters ([see "character classes"])
`{alt1,...}`  | matches a sequence of characters if one of the comma-separated alternatives matches

Any character with a special meaning can be escaped with a backslash (`\`).

A doublestar (`**`) should appear surrounded by path separators such as `/**/`.
A mid-pattern doublestar (`**`) behaves like bash's globstar option: a pattern
such as `path/to/**.txt` would return the same results as `path/to/*.txt`. The
pattern you're looking for is `path/to/**/*.txt`.

#### Character Classes

Character classes support the following:

Class      | Meaning
---------- | -------
`[abc]`    | matches any single character within the set
`[a-z]`    | matches any single character in the range
`[^class]` | matches any single character which does *not* match the class
`[!class]` | same as `^`: negates the class

```

These benchmarks (in `doublestar_test.go`) compare Match() to path.Match(),
PathMath() to filepath.Match(), and Glob() + GlobWalk() to io/fs.Glob(). They
only run patterns that the standard go packages can understand as well (so, no
`{alts}` or `**`) for a fair comparison. Of course, alts and doublestars will
be less performant than the other pattern meta characters.

Alts are essentially like running multiple patterns, the number of which can
get large if your pattern has alts nested inside alts. This affects both
matching (ie, Match()) and globbing (Glob()).

`**` performance in matching is actually pretty similar to a regular `*`, but
can cause a large number of reads when globbing as it will need to recursively
traverse your filesystem.
