Method Details

glob

public static List<Path> glob(String glob)
                       throws IOException

Finds recursively all accessible files determined by the glob pattern which should fit the description of PathMatcher. There are corner cases where this does not find a path which formally matches, because recursing into subdirectories requires that a path prefix of the pattern matches the directory.

For example the pattern /etc/udev**.d can not find /etc/udev/hwdb.d because no path prefix of the pattern, /etc is the only one anyway, matches /etc/udev. To get a close similar pattern, use /etc/udev**/*.d.

Files or directories which produce IO errors on access are silently ignored.

Parameters:

glob - is the pattern to expand.

Returns:

the list of matching paths

Throws:

IOException
