glob(3) OSS Library Calls Reference Manual

GLOB_NOMATCH

Indicates that the value speciﬁed for the pattern parameter did not match any

existing pathname and the GLOB_NOCHECK ﬂag was not set in the ﬂags

parameter.

GLOB_NOSPACE

Indicates an attempt to allocate memory failed.

A call to the malloc( ) function failed and the function given by the errfunc

parameter was called with an errno value of [ENOMEM].

If, during the search, a directory is encountered that cannot be opened or read and the errfunc

parameter is not null, the glob( ) function calls the function indicated by errfunc with two param-

eters:

epath Speciﬁes the pathname that failed.

eerrno Speciﬁes the value of errno from the failure, as set by the opendir( ), readdir(),

or stat( ) function.

If errfunc is called and returns a nonzero value, or if the GLOB_ERR ﬂag is set in the ﬂags

parameter, the glob( ) function stops the scan and returns GLOB_ABORTED after setting the

pglob parameter to reﬂect the pathnames already found. If GLOB_ERR is not set and either

errfunc is null or errfunc returns 0 (zero), the error is ignored.
