Perform globbing, matching the supplied expression
against
the list of supplied candidates
.
candidates
is a collection of strings and must be seqable.expression
adheres mostly to the bash notion of globbing
Globbing syntax:
- Any stray character is matched exactly
- Wildcards ('*') mean any number (including zero) of arbitrary chars
- Anyones ('?') mean a single arbitrary char
- Character classes are enclosed in square brackets and may contain arbitrary list of characters to match. If a character class begins with a ('!') or ('^') character, the class will be negated, i.e: will only match characters absent from the class. Empty charclasses, i.e: ('[]'), ('[!]'), and ('[^]') match their representation, not their content.
- Trees match any of their branches. Trees are delimited by curly brackets and content are separated by commas. Empty trees, i.e: ('{}'), ('{,}'), ('{,,}') match their representation, not their content.
(glob \"foobar\" [\"foobar\"]) ;; => (\"foobar\")
(glob \"fo[a-z]\" [\"foobar\"]) ;; => (\"foobar\")
