wezterm.glob(pattern [, relative_to])

Since: Version 20200503-171512-b13ef15f

The functionality described in this section requires version 20200503-171512-b13ef15f of wezterm, or a more recent version.

This function evalutes the glob pattern and returns an array containing the absolute file names of the matching results. Due to limitations in the lua bindings, all of the paths must be able to be represented as UTF-8 or this function will generate an error.

The optional relative_to parameter can be used to make the results relative to a path. If the results have the same prefix as relative_to then it will be removed from the returned path.

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

-- logs the names of all of the conf files under `/etc`
for _, v in ipairs(wezterm.glob '/etc/*.conf') do
  wezterm.log_error('entry: ' .. v)
end
