## NAME
    glob - Filename globbing utility.

## MODULE REFERENCE

    The following documentation is automatically generated from the Python

## FUNCTIONS
### escape
        Escape all special characters.

### glob
        Return a list of paths matching a pathname pattern.

        The pattern may contain simple shell-style wildcards a la
        fnmatch. However, unlike fnmatch, filenames starting with a
        dot are special cases that are not matched by '*' and '?'
        patterns.

        If recursive is true, the pattern '**' will match any files and
        zero or more directories and subdirectories.

### iglob
        Return an iterator which yields the paths matching a pathname pattern.

        The pattern may contain simple shell-style wildcards a la
        fnmatch. However, unlike fnmatch, filenames starting with a
        dot are special cases that are not matched by '*' and '?'
        patterns.

        If recursive is true, the pattern '**' will match any files and
        zero or more directories and subdirectories.
