 # <!-- rdoc-file=dir.rb -->
-# Objects of class Dir are directory streams representing directories in the
-# underlying file system. They provide a variety of ways to list directories and
-# their contents. See also File.
+# An object of class Dir represents a directory in the underlying file system.
 #
-# The directory used in these examples contains the two regular files
-# (`config.h` and `main.rb`), the parent directory (`..`), and the directory
-# itself (`.`).
+# It consists mainly of:
+#
+# *   A string *path*, given when the object is created, that specifies a
+#     directory in the underlying file system; method #path returns the path.
+# *   A collection of string *entry names*, each of which is the name of a
+#     directory or file in the underlying file system; the entry names may be
+#     retrieved in an [array-like fashion](rdoc-ref:Dir@Dir+As+Array-Like) or in
+#     a [stream-like fashion](rdoc-ref:Dir@Dir+As+Stream-Like).
+#
+#
+# ## About the Examples
+#
+# Some examples on this page use this simple file tree:
+#
+#     example/
+#     ├── config.h
+#     ├── lib/
+#     │   ├── song/
+#     │   │   └── karaoke.rb
+#     │   └── song.rb
+#     └── main.rb
+#
+# Others use the file tree for the [Ruby project
+# itself](https://github.com/ruby/ruby).
+#
+# ## Dir As Array-Like
+#
+# A Dir object is in some ways array-like:
+#
+# *   It has instance methods #children, #each, and #each_child.
+# *   It includes [module Enumerable](rdoc-ref:Enumerable@What-27s+Here).
+#
+#
+# ## Dir As Stream-Like
+#
+# A Dir object is in some ways stream-like.
+#
+# The stream is initially open for reading, but may be closed manually (using
+# method #close), and will be closed on block exit if created by Dir.open called
+# with a block. The closed stream may not be further manipulated, and may not be
+# reopened.
+#
+# The stream has a *position*, which is the index of an entry in the directory:
+#
+# *   The initial position is zero (before the first entry).
+# *   Method #tell (aliased as #pos) returns the position.
+# *   Method #pos= sets the position (but ignores a value outside the stream),
+#     and returns the position.
+# *   Method #seek is like #pos=, but returns `self` (convenient for chaining).
+# *   Method #read, if not at end-of-stream, reads the next entry and increments
+#     the position; if at end-of-stream, does not increment the position.
+# *   Method #rewind sets the position to zero.
+#
+#
+# Examples (using the [simple file tree](rdoc-ref:Dir@About+the+Examples)):
+#
+#     dir = Dir.new('example') # => #<Dir:example>
+#     dir.pos                  # => 0
+#
+#     dir.read # => "."
+#     dir.read # => ".."
+#     dir.read # => "config.h"
+#     dir.read # => "lib"
+#     dir.read # => "main.rb"
+#     dir.pos  # => 5
+#     dir.read # => nil
+#     dir.pos  # => 5
+#
+#     dir.rewind # => #<Dir:example>
+#     dir.pos    # => 0
+#
+#     dir.pos = 3 # => 3
+#     dir.pos     # => 3
+#
+#     dir.seek(4) # => #<Dir:example>
+#     dir.pos     # => 4
+#
+#     dir.close # => nil
+#     dir.read  # Raises IOError.

+  # that these are not regexps; see below.
   #
-  # The results which matched single wildcard or character set are sorted in
-  # binary ascending order, unless `false` is given as the optional `sort` keyword
-  # argument.  The order of an Array of pattern strings and braces are preserved.
+  # Notes for the following examples:
   #
-  # Note that the pattern is not a regexp, it's closer to a shell glob. See
-  # File::fnmatch for the meaning of the `flags` parameter. Case sensitivity
-  # depends on your system (`File::FNM_CASEFOLD` is ignored).
+  # *   `'*'` is the pattern that matches any entry name except those that begin
+  #     with `'.'`.
+  # *   We use method Array#take to shorten returned arrays that otherwise would
+  #     be very large.
   #
-  # `*`
-  # :   Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob.
-  #     Equivalent to `/.*/mx` in regexp.
   #
-  #     `*`
-  # :       Matches all files
-  #     `c*`
-  # :       Matches all files beginning with `c`
-  #     `*c`
-  # :       Matches all files ending with `c`
-  #     `*c*`
-  # :       Match all files that have `c` in them (including at the beginning or
-  #         end).
+  # With no block, returns array *entry_names*; example (using the [simple file
+  # tree](rdoc-ref:Dir@About+the+Examples)):
   #
+  #     Dir.glob('*') # => ["config.h", "lib", "main.rb"]
   #
-  #     Note, this will not match Unix-like hidden files (dotfiles).  In order to
-  #     include those in the match results, you must use the File::FNM_DOTMATCH
-  #     flag or something like `"{*,.*}"`.
+  # With a block, calls the block with each of the *entry_names* and returns
+  # `nil`:
   #
-  # `**`
-  # :   Matches directories recursively if followed by `/`.  If this path segment
-  #     contains any other characters, it is the same as the usual `*`.
+  #     Dir.glob('*') {|entry_name| puts entry_name } # => nil
   #
-  # `?`
-  # :   Matches any one character. Equivalent to `/.{1}/` in regexp.
+  # Output:
   #
-  # `[set]`
-  # :   Matches any one character in `set`.  Behaves exactly like character sets
-  #     in Regexp, including set negation (`[^a-z]`).
+  #     config.h
+  #     lib
+  #     main.rb
   #
-  # `{p,q}`
-  # :   Matches either literal `p` or literal `q`. Equivalent to pattern
-  #     alternation in regexp.
+  # If optional keyword argument `flags` is given, the value modifies the
+  # matching; see below.
   #
-  #     Matching literals may be more than one character in length.  More than two
-  #     literals may be specified.
+  # If optional keyword argument `base` is given, its value specifies the base
+  # directory. Each pattern string specifies entries relative to the base
+  # directory; the default is `'.'`. The base directory is not prepended to the
+  # entry names in the result:
   #
-  # `\`
-  # :   Escapes the next metacharacter.
+  #     Dir.glob(pattern, base: 'lib').take(5)
+  #     # => ["abbrev.gemspec", "abbrev.rb", "base64.gemspec", "base64.rb", "benchmark.gemspec"]
+  #     Dir.glob(pattern, base: 'lib/irb').take(5)
+  #     # => ["cmd", "color.rb", "color_printer.rb", "completion.rb", "context.rb"]
   #
-  #     Note that this means you cannot use backslash on windows as part of a
-  #     glob, i.e.  `Dir["c:\\foo*"]` will not work, use `Dir["c:/foo*"]` instead.
+  # If optional keyword `sort` is given, its value specifies whether the array is
+  # to be sorted; the default is `true`. Passing value `false` with that keyword
+  # disables sorting (though the underlying file system may already have sorted
+  # the array).
   #
+  # **Patterns**
   #
-  # Examples:
+  # Each pattern string is expanded according to certain metacharacters; examples
+  # below use the [Ruby file tree](rdoc-ref:Dir@About+the+Examples):
+  #
+  # *   `'*'`: Matches any substring in an entry name, similar in meaning to
+  #     regexp `/.*/mx`; may be restricted by other values in the pattern strings:
+  #
+  #     *   `'*'` matches all entry names:
+  #
+  #             Dir.glob('*').take(3)  # => ["BSDL", "CONTRIBUTING.md", "COPYING"]
+  #
+  #     *   `'c*'` matches entry names beginning with `'c'`:
+  #
+  #             Dir.glob('c*').take(3) # => ["CONTRIBUTING.md", "COPYING", "COPYING.ja"]
+  #
+  #     *   `'*c'` matches entry names ending with `'c'`:
+  #
+  #             Dir.glob('*c').take(3) # => ["addr2line.c", "array.c", "ast.c"]
+  #
+  #     *   `'*c*'` matches entry names that contain `'c'`, even at the beginning
+  #         or end:
+  #
+  #             Dir.glob('*c*').take(3) # => ["CONTRIBUTING.md", "COPYING", "COPYING.ja"]
+  #
+  #
+  #     Does not match Unix-like hidden entry names ("dot files"). To include
+  #     those in the matched entry names, use flag IO::FNM_DOTMATCH or something
+  #     like `'{*,.*}'`.
+  #
+  # *   `'**'`: Matches entry names recursively if followed by  the slash
+  #     character `'/'`:
+  #
+  #         Dir.glob('**/').take(3) # => ["basictest/", "benchmark/", "benchmark/gc/"]
+  #
+  #     If the string pattern contains other characters or is not followed by a
+  #     slash character, it is equivalent to `'*'`.
+  #
+  # *   `'?'` Matches any single character; similar in meaning to regexp `/./`:
+  #
+  #         Dir.glob('io.?') # => ["io.c"]
+  #
+  # *   `'[*set*]'`: Matches any one character in the string *set*; behaves like a
+  #     [Regexp character class](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Character+Classes), including set
+  #     negation (`'[^a-z]'`):
+  #
+  #         Dir.glob('*.[a-z][a-z]').take(3)
+  #         # => ["CONTRIBUTING.md", "COPYING.ja", "KNOWNBUGS.rb"]
+  #
+  # *   `'{*abc*,*xyz*}'`: Matches either string *abc* or string *xyz*; behaves
+  #     like [Regexp alternation](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Alternation):
+  #
+  #         Dir.glob('{LEGAL,BSDL}') # => ["LEGAL", "BSDL"]
+  #
+  #     More than two alternatives may be given.
+  #
+  # *   `\`: Escapes the following metacharacter.
+  #
+  #     Note that on Windows, the backslash character may not be used in a string
+  #     pattern: `Dir['c:\\foo*']` will not work, use `Dir['c:/foo*']` instead.

+  # **Flags**
+  #
+  # If optional keyword argument `flags` is given (the default is zero -- no

+  # defined in module File::Constants.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  #
+  #     flags = File::FNM_EXTGLOB | File::FNM_DOTMATCH
+  #
+  # Specifying flags can extend, restrict, or otherwise modify the matching.
+  #
+  # The flags for this method (other constants in File::Constants do not apply):
+  #
+  # *   File::FNM_DOTMATCH: specifies that entry names beginning with `'.'` should
+  #     be considered for matching:
+  #
+  #         Dir.glob('*').take(5)
+  #         # => ["BSDL", "CONTRIBUTING.md", "COPYING", "COPYING.ja", "GPL"]

+  #         # => [".", ".appveyor.yml", ".cirrus.yml", ".dir-locals.el", ".document"]
+  #
+  # *   File::FNM_EXTGLOB: enables the pattern extension `'{*a*,*b*}'`, which
+  #     matches pattern *a* and pattern *b*; behaves like a [regexp
+  #     union](rdoc-ref:Regexp.union) (e.g., `'(?:*a*|*b*)'`):
+  #
+  #         pattern = '{LEGAL,BSDL}'
+  #         Dir.glob(pattern)      # => ["LEGAL", "BSDL"]
+  #
+  # *   File::FNM_NOESCAPE: specifies that escaping with the backslash character
+  #     `'\'` is disabled; the character is not an escape character.
+  #
+  # *   File::FNM_PATHNAME: specifies that metacharacters `'*'` and `'?'` do not
+  #     match directory separators.
+  #
+  # *   File::FNM_SHORTNAME: specifies that patterns may match short names if they
+  #     exist; Windows only.
