[PVFS-developers] Support wildcards through the PVFS-API?

[Rob Ross]

Hi Stuart,

I don't think that opendir/closedir/readdir deal with wildcards; I think 
those are all handled by the shell.  I could be wrong though.

In any case, there's no such functionality in PVFS (the PVFS API 
corresponds to the UNIX API, which has no such functionality either).  You 
would need to build this on top of the existing functions I'm afraid.

Regards,

Rob
