3.3. Making a list of files with Glob

You can also use the Glob function to find all files matching a certain template, using the standard shell pattern matching characters * (to match everything), ? (to match a single character) and [abc] to match any of a, b or c. [!abc] is also supported, to match any character except a, b or c. This makes many multi-source-file builds quite easy:

Program('program', Glob('*.c'))
    

Glob has powerful capabilities - it matches even if the file does not currently exist, but SCons can determine that it would exist after a build. You will meet it again reading about variant directories (see Chapter 15, Separating Source and Build Trees: Variant Directories) and repositories (see Chapter 16, Building From Code Repositories).
