+ <title>Making a list of files with Glob()</title>
+
+ <para>
+
+ You can also use the Glob() function to find all files matching a
+ certain template, using standard the shell pattern matching
+ characters *, ?, and [abc] to match any of a, b, or c. [!abc] is
+ also supported, to match any character <emphasis>except</emphasis>
+ a, b, or c. This makes many multi-source-file builds quite easy:
+
+ </para>
+
+ <sconstruct>
+ Program('program', Glob('*.c'))
+ </sconstruct>
+
+ <para>
+
+ The SCons man page has more details on using Glob() with Variant
+ dirs and Repositories and returning strings rather than Nodes.
