# doublestar
**doublestar** is a [golang](http://golang.org/) 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:
```
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.
## Installation
**doublestar** can be installed via `go get`:
```bash
go get github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar
```
To use it in your code, you must import it:
```go
import "github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar"
```
## Functions
### Match
```go
func Match(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
```
Match returns true if `name` matches the file name `pattern`
([see below](#patterns)). `name` and `pattern` are split on forward slash (`/`)
characters and may be relative or absolute.
Note: `Match()` is meant to be a drop-in replacement for `path.Match()`. As
such, it always uses `/` as the path separator. If you are writing code that
will run on systems where `/` is not the path separator (such as Windows), you
want to use `PathMatch()` (below) instead.
### PathMatch
```go
func PathMatch(pattern, name string) (bool, error)
```
PathMatch returns true if `name` matches the file name `pattern`
([see below](#patterns)). The difference between Match and PathMatch is that
PathMatch will automatically use your system's path separator to split `name`
and `pattern`.
`PathMatch()` is meant to be a drop-in replacement for `filepath.Match()`.
### Glob
```go
func Glob(pattern string) ([]string, error)
```
Glob finds all files and directories in the filesystem that match `pattern`
([see below](#patterns)). `pattern` may be relative (to the current working
directory), or absolute.
`Glob()` is meant to be a drop-in replacement for `filepath.Glob()`.
## Patterns
**doublestar** supports the following special terms in the patterns:
Special Terms | Meaning
------------- | -------
`*` | matches any sequence of non-path-separators
`**` | matches any sequence of characters, including path separators
`?` | matches any single non-path-separator character
`[class]` | matches any single non-path-separator character against a class of characters ([see below](#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 (`\`).
### 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
