Description:
Wishlist bug:
I would like to be able to configure bash so that directory
names that are the result of globbing have a slash ('/')
appended to their name. Currently, this seems to be only
possible for /completion/ (by means of the readline variable
'mark-directories'), but not for /globbing/.
Analogous to nullglob, dotglob etc., I suggest a shell option
named 'markglob', that can be set/unset by 'shopt'.
Repeat-By:
Current behavior:
$ mkdir foobar
$ echo foob*
foobar
$
Desired behavior (only if configured to do so):
$ mkdir foobar
$ echo foob*
foobar/
$
Example for zsh's implementation of desired configurable
feature:
$ mkdir foobar
$ echo foob*
foobar
$ setopt MARK_DIRS
$ echo foob*
foobar/
$
Fix:
glob(3) has a flag 'GLOB_MARK' that seems to exhibit the
desired behavior, at least from the description:
GLOB_MARK
Append a slash to each path which corresponds to a
directory.
So maybe shell_glob_filename() in pathexp.c and the
appropriate parts of builtins/shopt.def can be relatively
easily modified to add the desired feature.
