Glob-Posix

Glob-Posix is a Haskell library that provides bindings for the glob(3) C function on POSIX systems. It is significantly faster than the available alternatives at time of writing. GNU extensions are also supported.

Benchmarks

Glob-Posix isn't just fast, it's orders of magitude faster than the competing implementations:

You can find the source for these benchmarks here. To run the benchmarks, use:

stack bench --benchmark-arguments '--output=bench.html'

Reasons to use this library

• You need a fast, powerful implementation of glob(3) on a POSIX OS

Reasons to not use this library

• You need to write programs portable to non-POSIX operating systems. e.g. Windows
• You need support for virtual file-systems - see System.IO.HVFS.
