#289 Submission: fileutil::globfind

[Stephen Huntley]

globfind is designed as a fast and simple alternative to fileutil::find. It takes advantage of glob's ability to use multiple patterns to scan deeply into a directory structure in a single command, hence the name.

It is two to three times faster than fileutil::find, and somewhat faster than perl's standard directory traversal utility, File::Find.

See http://wiki.tcl.tk/19762 for performance details.

Some example filter commands are included for use with globfind: one powers a wrapper proc that duplicates the function of a subset of the Gnu find utility's parameters; another performs directory syncing.
