The `elglob` program

+elglob performs globbing on a pattern, then executes +another program. +

elglob performs +globbing +on pattern.
It then performs +variable substitution on +prog..., using variable as key and the result of the +globbing as value. The value is always split: it contains as many words +as they are matches for the globbing pattern.
elglob then execs into the modified prog....

+ +

Options

+ +

-v : verbose. If there is a problem while globbing, print +a warning message on stderr.
-w : strict. If there is a problem while globbing, die +immediately. This is harsh - you probably don't need that option.
-s : sort the matches. By default, the results are +left unsorted.
-m : mark. Append a slash to each word that corresponds +to a directory.
-e : no escape. Treat backslashes in pattern +literally; do not allow quoting of metacharacters in pattern via +backslashes. Warning: the +execlineb launcher +uses the backslash as their own escape character - if you want a +backslash to be passed to elglob, do not forget to double +it.
-0 : null globbing. By default, if pattern +matches nothing, it will be substituted as is (verbatim in one word). With +this option, if pattern matches nothing, it will be properly +substituted as zero word.
