Enumerate a directory tree, filtered by pattern, and return a list.
Defined in <SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h>
extern DECLSPEC char **SDLCALL SDL_GlobDirectory(const char *path, const char *pattern, Uint32 flags, int *count);| path | the path of the directory to enumerate |
| pattern | the pattern that files in the directory must match. Can be NULL. |
| flags | SDL_GLOB_* bitflags that affect this search. |
| count | on return, will be set to the number of items in the returned array. Can be NULL. |
Returns an array of strings on success or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information. The caller should pass the returned pointer to SDL_free when done with it.
Files are filtered out if they don't match the string in pattern, which may contain wildcard characters '' (match everything) and '?' (match one character). If pattern is NULL, no filtering is done and all results are returned. Subdirectories are permitted, and are specified with a path separator of '/'. Wildcard characters '' and '?' never match a path separator.
flags may be set to SDL_GLOB_CASEINSENSITIVE to make the pattern matching case-insensitive.
The returned array is always NULL-terminated, for your iterating convenience, but if count is non-NULL, on return it will contain the number of items in the array, not counting the NULL terminator.
You must free the returned pointer with SDL_free() when done with it.
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
