Zlob: High-Performance POSIX-Compatible Globbing Library for C, Zig, and Rust
By
neogoose
Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Zlob is a high-performance globbing library for C, Zig, and Rust that offers 100% compatibility with POSIX and glibc standards while being significantly faster. It addresses performance issues in glibc's glob() implementation, which requires sorting results and is outdated. The library supports modern globbing formats and gitignore patterns, providing a faster alternative for file pattern matching across multiple programming languages.
