<listitem><para>The <code>glob</code> rule takes a list shell pattern
and returns the list of files in the project's source directory that
match the pattern. For example:
<programlisting>
lib tools : [ glob *.cpp ] ;
</programlisting>
It is possible to also pass a second argument&#x2014;the list of
exclude patterns. The result will then include the list of
files patching any of include patterns, and not matching any
of the exclude patterns. For example:
<programlisting>
lib tools : [ glob *.cpp : file_to_exclude.cpp bad*.cpp ] ;
</programlisting>

<listitem><para>The <code>glob-tree</code> is similar to the
<code>glob</code> except that it operates recursively from
the directory of the containing Jamfile. For example:
<programlisting>
ECHO [ glob-tree *.cpp : .svn ] ;

will print the names of all C++ files in your project. The
<literal>.svn</literal> exclude pattern prevents the
<code>glob-tree</code> rule from entering administrative
directories of the Subverion version control system.
