## glob_match

<pre>
glob_match(<a href="#glob_match-expr">expr</a>, <a href="#glob_match-path">path</a>, <a href="#glob_match-match_path_separator">match_path_separator</a>)
</pre>

Test if the passed path matches the glob expression.

`*` A single asterisk stands for zero or more arbitrary characters except for the the path separator `/` if `match_path_separator` is False

`?` The question mark stands for exactly one character except for the the path separator `/` if `match_path_separator` is False

`**` A double asterisk stands for an arbitrary sequence of 0 or more characters. It is only allowed when preceded by either the beginning of the string or a slash. Likewise it must be followed by a slash or the end of the pattern.
