+Beside the flags descibed in the last section, the GNU implementation of

+@comment GNU
+@item GLOB_MAGCHAR
+The @code{GLOB_MAGCHAR} value is not to be given to @code{glob} in the
+@var{flags} parameter. Instead, @code{glob} sets this bit in the
+@var{gl_flags} element of the @var{glob_t} structure provided as the

+

+@comment GNU
+@item GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC
+Instead of the using the using the normal functions for accessing the
+filesystem the @code{glob} implementation uses the user-supplied
+functions specified in the structure pointed to by @var{pglob}
+parameter. For more information about the functions refer to the
+sections about directory handling @ref{Accessing Directories} and
+@ref{Reading Attributes}.
+
+@comment glob.h
+@comment GNU
+@item GLOB_BRACE
+If this flag is given the handling of braces in the pattern is changed.
+It is now required that braces appear correctly grouped. I.e., for each
+opening brace there must be a closing one. Braces can be used
+recursively. So it is possible to define one brace expression in
+another one. It is important to note that the range of each brace
+expression is completely contained in the outer brace expression (if
+there is one).
+
+The string between the mathing braces is separated into single
+expressions by splitting at @code{,} (comma) characters. The commas
+themself are discarded. Please note what we said above about recursive
+brace expressions. The commas used to separate the subexpressions must
+be at the same level. Commas in brace subexpressions are not matched.
+They are used during expansion of the brace expression of the deeper
+level. The example below shows this
+
+@smallexample
+glob ("@{foo/@{,bar,biz@},baz@}", GLOB_BRACE, NULL, &result)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+is equivalent to the sequence
+
+@smallexample
+glob ("foo/", GLOB_BRACE, NULL, &result)
+glob ("foo/bar", GLOB_BRACE|GLOB_APPEND, NULL, &result)
+glob ("foo/biz", GLOB_BRACE|GLOB_APPEND, NULL, &result)
+glob ("baz", GLOB_BRACE|GLOB_APPEND, NULL, &result)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+if we leave aside error handling.
+
+@comment glob.h
+@comment GNU
+@item GLOB_NOMAGIC
+If the pattern contains no wildcard constructs (it is a literal file name),
+return it as the sole ``matching'' word, even if no file exists by that name.
+
+@comment glob.h
+@comment GNU
+@item GLOB_TILDE
+If this flag is used the character @code{~} (tilde) is handled special
+if it appears at the beginning of the pattern. Instead of being taken
+verbatim it is used to represent the home directory of a known user.
+
+If @code{~} is the only character in pattern or it is followed by a
+@code{/} (slash), the home directory of the process owner is
+substituted. Using @code{getlogin} and @code{getpwnam} the information
+is read from the system databases. As an example take user @code{bart}
+with his home directory at @file{/home/bart}. For him a call like
+
+@smallexample
+glob ("~/bin/*", GLOB_TILDE, NULL, &result)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+would return the contents of the directory @file{/home/bart/bin}.
+Instead of referring to the own home directory it is also possible to
+name the home directory of other users. To do so one has to append the
+user name after the tilde character. So the contents of user
+@code{homer}'s @file{bin} directory can be retrieved by
+
+@smallexample
+glob ("~homer/bin/*", GLOB_TILDE, NULL, &result)
+@end smallexample
+
+This functionality is equivalent to what is available in C-shells.
