Glob
====

[](#glob)

A replacement for  that provides support for `**`.

```
$matched_paths = \AKlump\Glob\Glob::glob('/foo/**/*.txt');
```

In some cases you may be able to achieve better performance by reusing a single instance as shown below. The reason is that each instance generates a file cache when it's first called. The downside is that you MUST manage the cache yourself, that is, if the file system changes, you must use a new instance. And that coordination is up to you. **By using the static `::glob` method, you do not need to manage caching, as each call produces a new instance.**

```
$glob = new \AKlump\Glob\Glob();
$matched_paths = $glob('/foo/**/*.txt');
// This second call will rely on the internal cache of $glob and is theoretically faster.
$matched_paths = $glob('/foo/**/*.md');
```
