+# Glob
+
+Match files using the patterns the shell uses.
+
+The most correct and second fastest glob implementation in
+JavaScript. (See **Comparison to Other JavaScript Glob
+Implementations** at the bottom of this readme.)
+
+![a fun cartoon logo made of glob characters](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob/raw/main/logo/glob.png)
+
+## Usage
+
+Install with npm
+
+```
+npm i glob
+```
+
+**Note** the npm package name is _not_ `node-glob` that's a
+different thing that was abandoned years ago. Just `glob`.
+
+```js
+// load using import
+import { glob, globSync, globStream, globStreamSync, Glob } from 'glob'
+// or using commonjs, that's fine, too
+const {
+  glob,
+  globSync,
+  globStream,
+  globStreamSync,
+  Glob,
+} = require('glob')
+
+// the main glob() and globSync() resolve/return array of filenames
+
+// all js files, but don't look in node_modules
+const jsfiles = await glob('**/*.js', { ignore: 'node_modules/**' })
+
+// pass in a signal to cancel the glob walk
+const stopAfter100ms = await glob('**/*.css', {
+  signal: AbortSignal.timeout(100),
+})
+
+// multiple patterns supported as well
+const images = await glob(['css/*.{png,jpeg}', 'public/*.{png,jpeg}'])
+
+// but of course you can do that with the glob pattern also
+// the sync function is the same, just returns a string[] instead
+// of Promise<string[]>
+const imagesAlt = globSync('{css,public}/*.{png,jpeg}')
+
+// you can also stream them, this is a Minipass stream
+const filesStream = globStream(['**/*.dat', 'logs/**/*.log'])
+
+// construct a Glob object if you wanna do it that way, which
+// allows for much faster walks if you have to look in the same
+// folder multiple times.
+const g = new Glob('**/foo', {})
+// glob objects are async iterators, can also do globIterate() or
+// g.iterate(), same deal
+for await (const file of g) {
+  console.log('found a foo file:', file)
+}
+// pass a glob as the glob options to reuse its settings and caches
+const g2 = new Glob('**/bar', g)
+// sync iteration works as well
+for (const file of g2) {
+  console.log('found a bar file:', file)
+}
+
+// you can also pass withFileTypes: true to get Path objects
+// these are like a Dirent, but with some more added powers
+// check out http://npm.im/path-scurry for more info on their API
+const g3 = new Glob('**/baz/**', { withFileTypes: true })
+g3.stream().on('data', path => {
+  console.log(
+    'got a path object',
+    path.fullpath(),
+    path.isDirectory(),
+    path.readdirSync().map(e => e.name)
+  )
+})
+
+// if you use stat:true and withFileTypes, you can sort results
+// by things like modified time, filter by permission mode, etc.
+// All Stats fields will be available in that case. Slightly
+// slower, though.
+// For example:
+const results = await glob('**', { stat: true, withFileTypes: true })
+
+const timeSortedFiles = results
+  .sort((a, b) => a.mtimeMs - b.mtimeMs)
+  .map(path => path.fullpath())
+
+const groupReadableFiles = results
+  .filter(path => path.mode & 0o040)
+  .map(path => path.fullpath())
+
+// custom ignores can be done like this, for example by saying
+// you'll ignore all markdown files, and all folders named 'docs'
+const customIgnoreResults = await glob('**', {
+  ignore: {
+    ignored: p => /\.md$/.test(p.name),
+    childrenIgnored: p => p.isNamed('docs'),
+  },
+})
+
+// another fun use case, only return files with the same name as
+// their parent folder, plus either `.ts` or `.js`
+const folderNamedModules = await glob('**/*.{ts,js}', {
+  ignore: {
+    ignored: p => {
+      const pp = p.parent
+      return !(p.isNamed(pp.name + '.ts') || p.isNamed(pp.name + '.js'))
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+// find all files edited in the last hour, to do this, we ignore
+// all of them that are more than an hour old
+const newFiles = await glob('**', {
+  // need stat so we have mtime
+  stat: true,
+  // only want the files, not the dirs
+  nodir: true,
+  ignore: {
+    ignored: p => {
+      return new Date() - p.mtime > 60 * 60 * 1000
+    },
+    // could add similar childrenIgnored here as well, but
+    // directory mtime is inconsistent across platforms, so
+    // probably better not to, unless you know the system
+    // tracks this reliably.
+  },
+})
+```
+
+**Note** Glob patterns should always use `/` as a path separator,
+even on Windows systems, as `\` is used to escape glob
+characters. If you wish to use `\` as a path separator _instead
+of_ using it as an escape character on Windows platforms, you may
+set `windowsPathsNoEscape:true` in the options. In this mode,
+special glob characters cannot be escaped, making it impossible
+to match a literal `*` `?` and so on in filenames.
+
+## Command Line Interface
+
+```
+$ glob -h
+
+Usage:
+  glob [options] [<pattern> [<pattern> ...]]
+
+Expand the positional glob expression arguments into any matching file system
+paths found.
+
+  -c<command> --cmd=<command>
+                         Run the command provided, passing the glob expression
+                         matches as arguments.
+
+  -A --all               By default, the glob cli command will not expand any
+                         arguments that are an exact match to a file on disk.
+
+                         This prevents double-expanding, in case the shell
+                         expands an argument whose filename is a glob
+                         expression.
+
+                         For example, if 'app/*.ts' would match 'app/[id].ts',
+                         then on Windows powershell or cmd.exe, 'glob app/*.ts'
+                         will expand to 'app/[id].ts', as expected. However, in
+                         posix shells such as bash or zsh, the shell will first
+                         expand 'app/*.ts' to a list of filenames. Then glob
+                         will look for a file matching 'app/[id].ts' (ie,
+                         'app/i.ts' or 'app/d.ts'), which is unexpected.
+
+                         Setting '--all' prevents this behavior, causing glob to
+                         treat ALL patterns as glob expressions to be expanded,
+                         even if they are an exact match to a file on disk.
+
+                         When setting this option, be sure to enquote arguments
+                         so that the shell will not expand them prior to passing
+                         them to the glob command process.
+
+  -a --absolute          Expand to absolute paths
+  -d --dot-relative      Prepend './' on relative matches
+  -m --mark              Append a / on any directories matched
+  -x --posix             Always resolve to posix style paths, using '/' as the
+                         directory separator, even on Windows. Drive letter
+                         absolute matches on Windows will be expanded to their
+                         full resolved UNC maths, eg instead of 'C:\foo\bar', it
+                         will expand to '//?/C:/foo/bar'.
+
+  -f --follow            Follow symlinked directories when expanding '**'
+  -R --realpath          Call 'fs.realpath' on all of the results. In the case
+                         of an entry that cannot be resolved, the entry is
+                         omitted. This incurs a slight performance penalty, of
+                         course, because of the added system calls.
+
+  -s --stat              Call 'fs.lstat' on all entries, whether required or not
+                         to determine if it's a valid match.
+
+  -b --match-base        Perform a basename-only match if the pattern does not
+                         contain any slash characters. That is, '*.js' would be
+                         treated as equivalent to '**/*.js', matching js files
+                         in all directories.
+
+  --dot                  Allow patterns to match files/directories that start
+                         with '.', even if the pattern does not start with '.'
+
+  --nobrace              Do not expand {...} patterns
+  --nocase               Perform a case-insensitive match. This defaults to
+                         'true' on macOS and Windows platforms, and false on all
+                         others.
+
+                         Note: 'nocase' should only be explicitly set when it is
+                         known that the filesystem's case sensitivity differs
+                         from the platform default. If set 'true' on
+                         case-insensitive file systems, then the walk may return
+                         more or less results than expected.
+
+  --nodir                Do not match directories, only files.
+
+                         Note: to *only* match directories, append a '/' at the
+                         end of the pattern.
+
+  --noext                Do not expand extglob patterns, such as '+(a|b)'
+  --noglobstar           Do not expand '**' against multiple path portions. Ie,
+                         treat it as a normal '*' instead.
+
+  --windows-path-no-escape
+                         Use '\' as a path separator *only*, and *never* as an
+                         escape character. If set, all '\' characters are
+                         replaced with '/' in the pattern.
+
+  -D<n> --max-depth=<n>  Maximum depth to traverse from the current working
+                         directory
+
+  -C<cwd> --cwd=<cwd>    Current working directory to execute/match in
+  -r<root> --root=<root> A string path resolved against the 'cwd', which is used
+                         as the starting point for absolute patterns that start
+                         with '/' (but not drive letters or UNC paths on
+                         Windows).
+
+                         Note that this *doesn't* necessarily limit the walk to
+                         the 'root' directory, and doesn't affect the cwd
+                         starting point for non-absolute patterns. A pattern
+                         containing '..' will still be able to traverse out of
+                         the root directory, if it is not an actual root
+                         directory on the filesystem, and any non-absolute
+                         patterns will still be matched in the 'cwd'.
+
+                         To start absolute and non-absolute patterns in the same
+                         path, you can use '--root=' to set it to the empty
+                         string. However, be aware that on Windows systems, a
+                         pattern like 'x:/*' or '//host/share/*' will *always*
+                         start in the 'x:/' or '//host/share/' directory,
+                         regardless of the --root setting.
+
+  --platform=<platform>  Defaults to the value of 'process.platform' if
+                         available, or 'linux' if not. Setting --platform=win32
+                         on non-Windows systems may cause strange behavior!
+
+  -i<ignore> --ignore=<ignore>
+                         Glob patterns to ignore Can be set multiple times
+  -v --debug             Output a huge amount of noisy debug information about

+
+## `glob(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => Promise<string[] | Path[]>`
+
+Perform an asynchronous glob search for the pattern(s) specified.
+Returns
+[Path](https://isaacs.github.io/path-scurry/classes/PathBase)
+objects if the `withFileTypes` option is set to `true`. See below
+for full options field desciptions.
+
+## `globSync(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => string[] | Path[]`
+
+Synchronous form of `glob()`.
+
+Alias: `glob.sync()`
+
+## `globIterate(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => AsyncGenerator<string>`
+
+Return an async iterator for walking glob pattern matches.
+
+Alias: `glob.iterate()`
+
+## `globIterateSync(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => Generator<string>`
+
+Return a sync iterator for walking glob pattern matches.
+
+Alias: `glob.iterate.sync()`, `glob.sync.iterate()`
+
+## `globStream(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => Minipass<string | Path>`
+
+Return a stream that emits all the strings or `Path` objects and
+then emits `end` when completed.
+
+Alias: `glob.stream()`
+
+## `globStreamSync(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => Minipass<string | Path>`
+
+Syncronous form of `globStream()`. Will read all the matches as
+fast as you consume them, even all in a single tick if you
+consume them immediately, but will still respond to backpressure
+if they're not consumed immediately.
+
+Alias: `glob.stream.sync()`, `glob.sync.stream()`
+
+## `hasMagic(pattern: string | string[], options?: GlobOptions) => boolean`
+
+Returns `true` if the provided pattern contains any "magic" glob
+characters, given the options provided.
+
+Brace expansion is not considered "magic" unless the
+`magicalBraces` option is set, as brace expansion just turns one
+string into an array of strings. So a pattern like `'x{a,b}y'`
+would return `false`, because `'xay'` and `'xby'` both do not
+contain any magic glob characters, and it's treated the same as
+if you had called it on `['xay', 'xby']`. When
+`magicalBraces:true` is in the options, brace expansion _is_
+treated as a pattern having magic.
+
+## `escape(pattern: string, options?: GlobOptions) => string`
+
+Escape all magic characters in a glob pattern, so that it will
+only ever match literal strings
+
+If the `windowsPathsNoEscape` option is used, then characters are
+escaped by wrapping in `[]`, because a magic character wrapped in
+a character class can only be satisfied by that exact character.
+
+Slashes (and backslashes in `windowsPathsNoEscape` mode) cannot
+be escaped or unescaped.
+
+## `unescape(pattern: string, options?: GlobOptions) => string`
+
+Un-escape a glob string that may contain some escaped characters.
+
+If the `windowsPathsNoEscape` option is used, then square-brace
+escapes are removed, but not backslash escapes. For example, it
+will turn the string `'[*]'` into `*`, but it will not turn
+`'\\*'` into `'*'`, because `\` is a path separator in
+`windowsPathsNoEscape` mode.
+
+When `windowsPathsNoEscape` is not set, then both brace escapes
+and backslash escapes are removed.
+
+Slashes (and backslashes in `windowsPathsNoEscape` mode) cannot
+be escaped or unescaped.
+
+## Class `Glob`
+
+An object that can perform glob pattern traversals.
+
+### `const g = new Glob(pattern: string | string[], options: GlobOptions)`
+
+Options object is required.
+
+See full options descriptions below.
+
+Note that a previous `Glob` object can be passed as the
+`GlobOptions` to another `Glob` instantiation to re-use settings
+and caches with a new pattern.
+
+Traversal functions can be called multiple times to run the walk
+again.
+
+### `g.stream()`
+
+Stream results asynchronously,
+
+### `g.streamSync()`
+
+Stream results synchronously.
+
+### `g.iterate()`
+
+Default async iteration function. Returns an AsyncGenerator that
+iterates over the results.
+
+### `g.iterateSync()`
+
+Default sync iteration function. Returns a Generator that
+iterates over the results.
+
+### `g.walk()`
+
+Returns a Promise that resolves to the results array.
+
+### `g.walkSync()`
+
+Returns a results array.
+
+### Properties
+
+All options are stored as properties on the `Glob` object.
+
+- `opts` The options provided to the constructor.
+- `patterns` An array of parsed immutable `Pattern` objects.
+
+## Options
+
+Exported as `GlobOptions` TypeScript interface. A `GlobOptions`
+object may be provided to any of the exported methods, and must
+be provided to the `Glob` constructor.
+
+All options are optional, boolean, and false by default, unless
+otherwise noted.
+
+All resolved options are added to the Glob object as properties.
+
+If you are running many `glob` operations, you can pass a Glob
+object as the `options` argument to a subsequent operation to
+share the previously loaded cache.
+
+- `cwd` String path or `file://` string or URL object. The
+  current working directory in which to search. Defaults to
+  `process.cwd()`. See also: "Windows, CWDs, Drive Letters, and
+  UNC Paths", below.
+
+  This option may be eiher a string path or a `file://` URL
+  object or string.
+
+- `root` A string path resolved against the `cwd` option, which
+  is used as the starting point for absolute patterns that start
+  with `/`, (but not drive letters or UNC paths on Windows).
+
+  Note that this _doesn't_ necessarily limit the walk to the
+  `root` directory, and doesn't affect the cwd starting point for
+  non-absolute patterns. A pattern containing `..` will still be
+  able to traverse out of the root directory, if it is not an
+  actual root directory on the filesystem, and any non-absolute
+  patterns will be matched in the `cwd`. For example, the
+  pattern `/../*` with `{root:'/some/path'}` will return all
+  files in `/some`, not all files in `/some/path`. The pattern
+  `*` with `{root:'/some/path'}` will return all the entries in
+  the cwd, not the entries in `/some/path`.
+
+  To start absolute and non-absolute patterns in the same
+  path, you can use `{root:''}`. However, be aware that on
+  Windows systems, a pattern like `x:/*` or `//host/share/*` will
+  _always_ start in the `x:/` or `//host/share` directory,
+  regardless of the `root` setting.
+
+- `windowsPathsNoEscape` Use `\\` as a path separator _only_, and
+  _never_ as an escape character. If set, all `\\` characters are
+  replaced with `/` in the pattern.
+
+  Note that this makes it **impossible** to match against paths
+  containing literal glob pattern characters, but allows matching
+  with patterns constructed using `path.join()` and
+  `path.resolve()` on Windows platforms, mimicking the (buggy!)
+  behavior of Glob v7 and before on Windows. Please use with
+  caution, and be mindful of [the caveat below about Windows
+  paths](#windows). (For legacy reasons, this is also set if
+  `allowWindowsEscape` is set to the exact value `false`.)
+
+- `dot` Include `.dot` files in normal matches and `globstar`
+  matches. Note that an explicit dot in a portion of the pattern
+  will always match dot files.
+
+- `magicalBraces` Treat brace expansion like `{a,b}` as a "magic"
+  pattern. Has no effect if {@link nobrace} is set.
+
+  Only has effect on the {@link hasMagic} function, no effect on
+  glob pattern matching itself.
+
+- `dotRelative` Prepend all relative path strings with `./` (or
+  `.\` on Windows).
+
+  Without this option, returned relative paths are "bare", so
+  instead of returning `'./foo/bar'`, they are returned as
+  `'foo/bar'`.
+
+  Relative patterns starting with `'../'` are not prepended with
+  `./`, even if this option is set.
+
+- `mark` Add a `/` character to directory matches. Note that this
+  requires additional stat calls.
+
+- `nobrace` Do not expand `{a,b}` and `{1..3}` brace sets.
+
+- `noglobstar` Do not match `**` against multiple filenames. (Ie,
+  treat it as a normal `*` instead.)
+
+- `noext` Do not match "extglob" patterns such as `+(a|b)`.
+
+- `nocase` Perform a case-insensitive match. This defaults to
+  `true` on macOS and Windows systems, and `false` on all others.
+
+  **Note** `nocase` should only be explicitly set when it is
+  known that the filesystem's case sensitivity differs from the
+  platform default. If set `true` on case-sensitive file
+  systems, or `false` on case-insensitive file systems, then the
+  walk may return more or less results than expected.
+
+- `maxDepth` Specify a number to limit the depth of the directory
+  traversal to this many levels below the `cwd`.
+
+- `matchBase` Perform a basename-only match if the pattern does
+  not contain any slash characters. That is, `*.js` would be
+  treated as equivalent to `**/*.js`, matching all js files in
+  all directories.
+
+- `nodir` Do not match directories, only files. (Note: to match
+  _only_ directories, put a `/` at the end of the pattern.)
+
+- `stat` Call `lstat()` on all entries, whether required or not
+  to determine whether it's a valid match. When used with
+  `withFileTypes`, this means that matches will include data such
+  as modified time, permissions, and so on. Note that this will
+  incur a performance cost due to the added system calls.
+
+- `ignore` string or string[], or an object with `ignore` and
+  `ignoreChildren` methods.
+
+  If a string or string[] is provided, then this is treated as a
+  glob pattern or array of glob patterns to exclude from matches.
+  To ignore all children within a directory, as well as the entry
+  itself, append `'/**'` to the ignore pattern.
+
+  **Note** `ignore` patterns are _always_ in `dot:true` mode,
+  regardless of any other settings.
+
+  If an object is provided that has `ignored(path)` and/or
+  `childrenIgnored(path)` methods, then these methods will be
+  called to determine whether any Path is a match or if its
+  children should be traversed, respectively.
+
+- `follow` Follow symlinked directories when expanding `**`
+  patterns. This can result in a lot of duplicate references in
+  the presence of cyclic links, and make performance quite bad.
+
+  By default, a `**` in a pattern will follow 1 symbolic link if
+  it is not the first item in the pattern, or none if it is the
+  first item in the pattern, following the same behavior as Bash.
+
+- `realpath` Set to true to call `fs.realpath` on all of the
+  results. In the case of an entry that cannot be resolved, the
+  entry is omitted. This incurs a slight performance penalty, of
+  course, because of the added system calls.
+
+- `absolute` Set to true to always receive absolute paths for
+  matched files. Set to `false` to always receive relative paths
+  for matched files.
+
+  By default, when this option is not set, absolute paths are
+  returned for patterns that are absolute, and otherwise paths
+  are returned that are relative to the `cwd` setting.
+
+  This does _not_ make an extra system call to get the realpath,
+  it only does string path resolution.
+
+  `absolute` may not be used along with `withFileTypes`.
+
+- `posix` Set to true to use `/` as the path separator in
+  returned results. On posix systems, this has no effect. On
+  Windows systems, this will return `/` delimited path results,
+  and absolute paths will be returned in their full resolved UNC
+  path form, eg insted of `'C:\\foo\\bar'`, it will return
+  `//?/C:/foo/bar`.
+
+- `platform` Defaults to value of `process.platform` if
+  available, or `'linux'` if not. Setting `platform:'win32'` on
+  non-Windows systems may cause strange behavior.
+
+- `withFileTypes` Return [PathScurry](http://npm.im/path-scurry)
+  `Path` objects instead of strings. These are similar to a
+  NodeJS `Dirent` object, but with additional methods and
+  properties.
+
+  `withFileTypes` may not be used along with `absolute`.
+
+- `signal` An AbortSignal which will cancel the Glob walk when
+  triggered.
+
+- `fs` An override object to pass in custom filesystem methods.
+  See [PathScurry docs](http://npm.im/path-scurry) for what can
+  be overridden.
+
+- `scurry` A [PathScurry](http://npm.im/path-scurry) object used
+  to traverse the file system. If the `nocase` option is set
+  explicitly, then any provided `scurry` object must match this
+  setting.
+
+## Glob Primer
+
+Much more information about glob pattern expansion can be found
+by running `man bash` and searching for `Pattern Matching`.
+
+"Globs" are the patterns you type when you do stuff like `ls
+*.js` on the command line, or put `build/*` in a `.gitignore`
+file.
+
+Before parsing the path part patterns, braced sections are
+expanded into a set. Braced sections start with `{` and end with
+`}`, with 2 or more comma-delimited sections within. Braced
+sections may contain slash characters, so `a{/b/c,bcd}` would
+expand into `a/b/c` and `abcd`.
+
+The following characters have special magic meaning when used in
+a path portion. With the exception of `**`, none of these match
+path separators (ie, `/` on all platforms, and `\` on Windows).
+
+- `*` Matches 0 or more characters in a single path portion.
+  When alone in a path portion, it must match at least 1
+  character. If `dot:true` is not specified, then `*` will not
+  match against a `.` character at the start of a path portion.
+- `?` Matches 1 character. If `dot:true` is not specified, then
+  `?` will not match against a `.` character at the start of a
+  path portion.
+- `[...]` Matches a range of characters, similar to a RegExp
+  range. If the first character of the range is `!` or `^` then
+  it matches any character not in the range. If the first
+  character is `]`, then it will be considered the same as `\]`,
+  rather than the end of the character class.
+- `!(pattern|pattern|pattern)` Matches anything that does not
+  match any of the patterns provided. May _not_ contain `/`
+  characters. Similar to `*`, if alone in a path portion, then
+  the path portion must have at least one character.
+- `?(pattern|pattern|pattern)` Matches zero or one occurrence of
+  the patterns provided. May _not_ contain `/` characters.
+- `+(pattern|pattern|pattern)` Matches one or more occurrences of
+  the patterns provided. May _not_ contain `/` characters.
+- `*(a|b|c)` Matches zero or more occurrences of the patterns
+  provided. May _not_ contain `/` characters.
+- `@(pattern|pat*|pat?erN)` Matches exactly one of the patterns
+  provided. May _not_ contain `/` characters.
+- `**` If a "globstar" is alone in a path portion, then it
+  matches zero or more directories and subdirectories searching
+  for matches. It does not crawl symlinked directories, unless
+  `{follow:true}` is passed in the options object. A pattern
+  like `a/b/**` will only match `a/b` if it is a directory.
+  Follows 1 symbolic link if not the first item in the pattern,
+  or 0 if it is the first item, unless `follow:true` is set, in
+  which case it follows all symbolic links.
+
+`[:class:]` patterns are supported by this implementation, but
+`[=c=]` and `[.symbol.]` style class patterns are not.
+
+### Dots
+
+If a file or directory path portion has a `.` as the first
+character, then it will not match any glob pattern unless that
+pattern's corresponding path part also has a `.` as its first
+character.
+
+For example, the pattern `a/.*/c` would match the file at
+`a/.b/c`. However the pattern `a/*/c` would not, because `*` does
+not start with a dot character.
+
+You can make glob treat dots as normal characters by setting
+`dot:true` in the options.
+
+### Basename Matching
+
+If you set `matchBase:true` in the options, and the pattern has
+no slashes in it, then it will seek for any file anywhere in the
+tree with a matching basename. For example, `*.js` would match
+`test/simple/basic.js`.
+
+### Empty Sets
+
+If no matching files are found, then an empty array is returned.
+This differs from the shell, where the pattern itself is
+returned. For example:
+
+```sh
+$ echo a*s*d*f
+a*s*d*f
+```
+
+## Comparisons to other fnmatch/glob implementations
+
+While strict compliance with the existing standards is a
+worthwhile goal, some discrepancies exist between node-glob and
+other implementations, and are intentional.
+
+The double-star character `**` is supported by default, unless
+the `noglobstar` flag is set. This is supported in the manner of
+bsdglob and bash 5, where `**` only has special significance if
+it is the only thing in a path part. That is, `a/**/b` will match
+`a/x/y/b`, but `a/**b` will not.
+
+Note that symlinked directories are not traversed as part of a
+`**`, though their contents may match against subsequent portions
+of the pattern. This prevents infinite loops and duplicates and
+the like. You can force glob to traverse symlinks with `**` by
+setting `{follow:true}` in the options.
+
+There is no equivalent of the `nonull` option. A pattern that
+does not find any matches simply resolves to nothing. (An empty
+array, immediately ended stream, etc.)
+
+If brace expansion is not disabled, then it is performed before
+any other interpretation of the glob pattern. Thus, a pattern
+like `+(a|{b),c)}`, which would not be valid in bash or zsh, is
+expanded **first** into the set of `+(a|b)` and `+(a|c)`, and
+those patterns are checked for validity. Since those two are
+valid, matching proceeds.
+
+The character class patterns `[:class:]` (posix standard named
+classes) style class patterns are supported and unicode-aware,
+but `[=c=]` (locale-specific character collation weight), and
+`[.symbol.]` (collating symbol), are not.
+
+### Repeated Slashes
+
+Unlike Bash and zsh, repeated `/` are always coalesced into a
+single path separator.
+
+### Comments and Negation
+
+Previously, this module let you mark a pattern as a "comment" if
+it started with a `#` character, or a "negated" pattern if it
+started with a `!` character.
+
+These options were deprecated in version 5, and removed in
+version 6.
+
+To specify things that should not match, use the `ignore` option.
+
+## Windows
+
+**Please only use forward-slashes in glob expressions.**
+
+Though windows uses either `/` or `\` as its path separator, only
+`/` characters are used by this glob implementation. You must use
+forward-slashes **only** in glob expressions. Back-slashes will
+always be interpreted as escape characters, not path separators.
+
+Results from absolute patterns such as `/foo/*` are mounted onto
+the root setting using `path.join`. On windows, this will by
+default result in `/foo/*` matching `C:\foo\bar.txt`.
+
+To automatically coerce all `\` characters to `/` in pattern
+strings, **thus making it impossible to escape literal glob
+characters**, you may set the `windowsPathsNoEscape` option to
+`true`.
+
+### Windows, CWDs, Drive Letters, and UNC Paths
+
+On posix systems, when a pattern starts with `/`, any `cwd`
+option is ignored, and the traversal starts at `/`, plus any
+non-magic path portions specified in the pattern.
+
+On Windows systems, the behavior is similar, but the concept of
+an "absolute path" is somewhat more involved.
+
+#### UNC Paths
+
+A UNC path may be used as the start of a pattern on Windows
+platforms. For example, a pattern like: `//?/x:/*` will return
+all file entries in the root of the `x:` drive. A pattern like
+`//ComputerName/Share/*` will return all files in the associated
+share.
+
+UNC path roots are always compared case insensitively.
+
+#### Drive Letters
+
+A pattern starting with a drive letter, like `c:/*`, will search
+in that drive, regardless of any `cwd` option provided.
+
+If the pattern starts with `/`, and is not a UNC path, and there
+is an explicit `cwd` option set with a drive letter, then the
+drive letter in the `cwd` is used as the root of the directory
+traversal.
+
+For example, `glob('/tmp', { cwd: 'c:/any/thing' })` will return
+`['c:/tmp']` as the result.
+
+If an explicit `cwd` option is not provided, and the pattern
+starts with `/`, then the traversal will run on the root of the
+drive provided as the `cwd` option. (That is, it is the result of
+`path.resolve('/')`.)
+
+## Race Conditions
+
+Glob searching, by its very nature, is susceptible to race
+conditions, since it relies on directory walking.
+
+As a result, it is possible that a file that exists when glob
+looks for it may have been deleted or modified by the time it
+returns the result.
+
+By design, this implementation caches all readdir calls that it
+makes, in order to cut down on system overhead. However, this
+also makes it even more susceptible to races, especially if the
+cache object is reused between glob calls.
+
+Users are thus advised not to use a glob result as a guarantee of
+filesystem state in the face of rapid changes. For the vast
+majority of operations, this is never a problem.

+## Comparison to Other JavaScript Glob Implementations
+
+**tl;dr**
+
+- If you want glob matching that is as faithful as possible to
+  Bash pattern expansion semantics, and as fast as possible
+  within that constraint, _use this module_.
+- If you are reasonably sure that the patterns you will encounter
+  are relatively simple, and want the absolutely fastest glob
+  matcher out there, _use [fast-glob](http://npm.im/fast-glob)_.
+- If you are reasonably sure that the patterns you will encounter
+  are relatively simple, and want the convenience of
+  automatically respecting `.gitignore` files, _use
+  [globby](http://npm.im/globby)_.
+
+There are some other glob matcher libraries on npm, but these
+three are (in my opinion, as of 2023) the best.
+
+---
+
+**full explanation**
+
+Every library reflects a set of opinions and priorities in the
+trade-offs it makes. Other than this library, I can personally
+recommend both [globby](http://npm.im/globby) and
+[fast-glob](http://npm.im/fast-glob), though they differ in their
+benefits and drawbacks.
+
+Both have very nice APIs and are reasonably fast.
+
+`fast-glob` is, as far as I am aware, the fastest glob
+implementation in JavaScript today. However, there are many
+cases where the choices that `fast-glob` makes in pursuit of
+speed mean that its results differ from the results returned by
+Bash and other sh-like shells, which may be surprising.
+
+In my testing, `fast-glob` is around 10-20% faster than this
+module when walking over 200k files nested 4 directories
+deep[1](#fn-webscale). However, there are some inconsistencies
+with Bash matching behavior that this module does not suffer
+from:
+
+- `**` only matches files, not directories
+- `..` path portions are not handled unless they appear at the
+  start of the pattern
+- `./!(<pattern>)` will not match any files that _start_ with
+  `<pattern>`, even if they do not match `<pattern>`. For
+  example, `!(9).txt` will not match `9999.txt`.
+- Some brace patterns in the middle of a pattern will result in
+  failing to find certain matches.
+- Extglob patterns are allowed to contain `/` characters.
+
+Globby exhibits all of the same pattern semantics as fast-glob,
+(as it is a wrapper around fast-glob) and is slightly slower than
+node-glob (by about 10-20% in the benchmark test set, or in other
+words, anywhere from 20-50% slower than fast-glob). However, it
+adds some API conveniences that may be worth the costs.
+
+- Support for `.gitignore` and other ignore files.
+- Support for negated globs (ie, patterns starting with `!`
+  rather than using a separate `ignore` option).
+
+The priority of this module is "correctness" in the sense of
+performing a glob pattern expansion as faithfully as possible to
+the behavior of Bash and other sh-like shells, with as much speed
+as possible.
+
+Note that prior versions of `node-glob` are _not_ on this list.
+Former versions of this module are far too slow for any cases
+where performance matters at all, and were designed with APIs
+that are extremely dated by current JavaScript standards.
+
+---
+
+<small id="fn-webscale">[1]: In the cases where this module
+returns results and `fast-glob` doesn't, it's even faster, of
+course.</small>
