### 10.2 Globbing

The archetypal use of wildcards is for matching against the files in a directory, and making a list of all the matches. This is called globbing.

You could do this using `fnmatch`, by reading the directory entries one by one and testing each one with `fnmatch`. But that would be slow (and complex, since you would have to handle subdirectories by hand).

The library provides a function `glob` to make this particular use of wildcards convenient. `glob` and the other symbols in this section are declared in `glob.h`.
