(** A self-contained module implementing extended shell glob patterns who have an expressive power
    equal to boolean combinations of regular expressions.  *)
module type GLOB = sig

  (** A globber is a boolean combination of basic expressions indented to work on
      pathnames.  Known operators
      are [or], [and] and [not], which may also be written [|], [&] and [~].  There are
      also constants [true] and [false] (or [1] and [0]).  Expression can be grouped
      using parentheses.
      - [true] matches anything,
      - [false] matches nothing,
      - {i basic} [or] {i basic} matches strings matching either one of the basic expressions,
      - {i basic} [and] {i basic} matches strings matching both basic expressions,
      - not {i basic} matches string that don't match the basic expression,
      - {i basic} matches strings that match the basic expression.

      A basic expression can be a constant string enclosed in double quotes, in which
      double quotes must be preceded by backslashes, or a glob pattern enclosed between a [<] and a [>],
      - ["]{i string}["] matches the literal string {i string},
      - [<]{i glob}[>] matches the glob pattern {i glob}.

      A glob pattern is an anchored regular expression in a shell-like syntax.  Most characters stand for themselves.
      Character ranges are given in usual shell syntax between brackets.  The star [*] stands for any sequence of
      characters.  The joker '?' stands for exactly one, unspecified character.  Alternation is achieved using braces [{].
      - {i glob1}{i glob2} matches strings who have a prefix matching {i glob1} and the corresponding suffix
        matching {i glob2}.
      - [a] matches the string consisting of the single letter [a].
      - [{]{i glob1},{i glob2}[}] matches strings matching {i glob1} or {i glob2}.
      - [?] any one-letter string, excluding the slash.
      - [*] matches all strings not containing a slash, including the empty one.
      - [**/] the empty string, or any string ending with a slash.
      - [/**] any string starting with a slash, or the empty string.
      - [/**/] any string starting and ending with a slash.
      - [\[]{i c1}-{i c2}{i c3}-{i c4}...[\]] matches characters in the range {i c1} to {i c2} inclusive,
        or in the range {i c3} to {i c4} inclusive.  For instance [\[a-fA-F0-9\]] matches hexadecimal digits.
        To match the dash, put it at the end.

  val parse : ?dir:string -> string -> globber

  (** A descriptive exception raised when an invalid glob pattern description is given. *)
  exception Parse_error of string

  (** [eval g u] returns [true] if and only if the string [u] matches the given glob expression.  Avoid reparsing
      the same pattern, since the automaton implementing the pattern is optimized on the fly.  The first few evaluations
      are done using a time-inefficient but memory-efficient algorithm.  It then compiles the pattern into an efficient
      but more memory-hungry data structure. *)

        This will setup the tag use_bar tag.
        At link time it will include:

        If you supply the ~dir:"boo" option -I boo
          will be added at link and compile time.
        Use ~extern:true for non-ocamlbuild handled libraries.
        Use ~byte:false or ~native:false to disable byte or native mode.
        Use ~tag_name:"usebar" to override the default tag name. *)

      Don't treat the given package as an open package.
