getdirs procedure

getdirs Procedure

Returns a list of all the subdirectories in a single directory that match a glob pattern. If no directories match the pattern, then an empty list is returned.

This procedure is specialized as a search for tests in testsuites: getdirs ignores directories named ‘testsuite’, ‘config’, or ‘lib’, and also ignores directories associated with a few revision control systems, specifically Git (‘.git’), Subversion (‘.svn’), CVS (‘CVS’), RCS (‘RCS’), and SCCS (‘SCCS’). These ignored directories will not appear in the returned list, nor will they be examined in a recursive search.

getdirs -all rootdir pattern

-all

If this option is given, then subdirectories will be matched recursively.

rootdir

The top level directory to start the search from.

pattern

The Tcl glob pattern to match. If you do not specify pattern, getdirs uses a default pattern of *.
