SDL_GlobDirectory - Man Page
Enumerate a directory tree, filtered by pattern, and return a list.
Synopsis
#include <SDL3/SDL_filesystem.h> char ** SDL_GlobDirectory(const char *path, const char *pattern, SDL_GlobFlags flags, int *count);
Description
Files are filtered out if they don't match the string in pattern, which may contain wildcard characters ' "'(matcheverything)and'?'(matchonecharacter).IfpatternisNULL,nofilteringisdoneandallresultsarereturned.Subdirectoriesarepermitted,andarespecifiedwithapathseparatorof'/'.Wildcardcharacters' and '?' never match a path separator.
flags may be set to SDL_GLOB_CASEINSENSITIVE to make the pattern matching case-insensitive.
The returned array is always NULL-terminated, for your iterating convenience, but if count is non-NULL, on return it will contain the number of items in the array, not counting the NULL terminator.
