+ //
+ // - consider all other reparse point types (volume mount points, Unix
+ // domain sockets, etc) as other entries (having the entry_type::other

+ // Wildcard pattern search (aka glob).
+ //
+ // For details on the wildcard patterns see <libbutl/path-pattern.hxx>
+
+ // Search for paths matching the pattern calling the specified function for
+ // each matching path (see below for details).
+ //
+ // If the pattern is relative, then search in the start directory. If the
+ // start directory is empty, then search in the current working directory.
+ // Searching in non-existent directories is not an error. Throw
+ // std::system_error in case of a failure (insufficient permissions, etc).
+ //
+ // The pattern may contain multiple components that include wildcards. On
+ // Windows the drive letter may not be a wildcard.
+ //
+ // In addition to the wildcard characters, path_search() also recognizes the
+ // ** and *** wildcard sequences. If a path component contains **, then it
+ // is matched just like * but in all the subdirectories, recursively. The
+ // *** wildcard behaves like ** but also matches the start directory itself.
+ // Note that if the first pattern component contains ***, then the start
+ // directory must be empty or be terminated with a "meaningful" component
+ // (e.g., probably not '.' or '..').
+ //
+ // So, for example, foo/bar-**.txt will return all the files matching the
+ // bar-*.txt pattern in all the subdirectoris of foo/. And foo/f***/ will
+ // return all the subdirectories matching the f*/ pattern plus foo/ itself.
+ //
+ // Note that having multiple recursive components in the pattern we can end
+ // up with calling func() multiple times (once per such a component) for the
+ // same path. For example the search with pattern f***/b**/ starting in
+ // directory foo, that has the foo/fox/box/ structure, will result in
+ // calling func(foo/fox/box/) twice: first time for being a child of fox/,
+ // second time for being a child of foo/.
+ //
+ // The callback function is called for both intermediate matches (interm is
+ // true) and final matches (interm is false). Pattern is what matched the
+ // last component in the path and is empty if the last component is not a
+ // pattern (final match only; say as in */foo.txt).
+ //
+ // If the callback function returns false for an intermediate path, then no
+ // further search is performed at or below this path. If false is returned
+ // for a final match, then the entire search is stopped.
+ //
+ // The path can be moved for the final match or for an intermediate match
+ // but only if false is returned.
+ //
+ // As an example, consider pattern f*/bar/b*/*.txt and path
+ // foo/bar/baz/x.txt. The sequence of calls in this case will be:
+ //
+ // (foo/, f*/, true)
+ // (foo/bar/baz/, b*/, true)
+ // (foo/bar/baz/x.txt, *.txt, false)
+ //
+ // If the pattern contains a recursive wildcard, then the callback function
+ // can be called for the same directory twice: first time as an intermediate
+ // match with */ pattern to decide if to recursively traverse the directory,
+ // and the second time if the directory matches the pattern component (either
+ // as an intermediate or a final match). As an example, consider pattern
+ // b**/c* and directory tree a/b/c/. The sequence of calls in this case will
+ // be:
+ //
+ // (a/, */, true)
+ // (a/b/, */ true)
+ // (a/b/c/, */, true)
+ // (a/b/, b*/, true)
+ // (a/b/c/, c*/, false)
+ //
+ // Note that recursive iterating through directories currently goes
+ // depth-first which make sense for the cleanup use cases. In future we may
+ // want to make it controllable.
