"readme":"# minimatch\n\nA minimal matching utility.\n\n[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/isaacs/minimatch.svg)](http://travis-ci.org/isaacs/minimatch)\n\n\nThis is the matching library used internally by npm.\n\nIt works by converting glob expressions into JavaScript `RegExp`\nobjects.\n\n## Usage\n\n```javascript\nvar minimatch = require(\"minimatch\")\n\nminimatch(\"bar.foo\", \"*.foo\") // true!\nminimatch(\"bar.foo\", \"*.bar\") // false!\nminimatch(\"bar.foo\", \"*.+(bar|foo)\", { debug: true }) // true, and noisy!\n```\n\n## Features\n\nSupports these glob features:\n\n* Brace Expansion\n* Extended glob matching\n* \"Globstar\" `**` matching\n\nSee:\n\n* `man sh`\n* `man bash`\n* `man 3 fnmatch`\n* `man 5 gitignore`\n\n## Minimatch Class\n\nCreate a minimatch object by instantiating the `minimatch.Minimatch` class.\n\n```javascript\nvar Minimatch = require(\"minimatch\").Minimatch\nvar mm = new Minimatch(pattern, options)\n```\n\n### Properties\n\n* `pattern` The original pattern the minimatch object represents.\n* `options` The options supplied to the constructor.\n* `set` A 2-dimensional array of regexp or string expressions.\n Each row in the\n array corresponds to a brace-expanded pattern. Each item in the row\n corresponds to a single path-part. For example, the pattern\n `{a,b/c}/d` would expand to a set of patterns like:\n\n [ [ a, d ]\n , [ b, c, d ] ]\n\n If a portion of the pattern doesn't have any \"magic\" in it\n (that is, it's something like `\"foo\"` rather than `fo*o?`), then it\n will be left as a string rather than converted to a regular\n expression.\n\n* `regexp` Created by the `makeRe` method. A single regular expression\n expressing the entire pattern. This is useful in cases where you wish\n to use the pattern somewhat like `fnmatch(3)` with `FNM_PATH` enabled.\n* `negate` True if the pattern is negated.\n* `comment` True if the pattern is a comment.\n* `empty` True if the pattern is `\"\"`.\n\n### Methods\n\n* `makeRe` Generate the `regexp` member if necessary, and return it.\n Will return `false` if the pattern is invalid.\n* `match(fname)` Return true if the filename matches the pattern, or\n false otherwise.\n* `matchOne(fileArray, patternArray, partial)` Take a `/`-split\n filename, and match it against a single row in the `regExpSet`. This\n method is mainly for internal use, but is exposed so that it can be\n used by a glob-walker that needs to avoid excessive filesystem calls.\n\nAll other methods are internal, and will be called as necessary.\n\n### minimatch(path, pattern, options)\n\nMain export. Tests a path against the pattern using the options.\n\n```javascript\nvar isJS = minimatch(file, \"*.js\", { matchBase: true })\n```\n\n### minimatch.filter(pattern, options)\n\nReturns a function that tests its\nsupplied argument, suitable for use with `Array.filter`. Example:\n\n```javascript\nvar javascripts = fileList.filter(minimatch.filter(\"*.js\", {matchBase: true}))\n```\n\n### minimatch.match(list, pattern, options)\n\nMatch against the list of\nfiles, in the style of fnmatch or glob. If nothing is matched, and\noptions.nonull is set, then return a list containing the pattern itself.\n\n```javascript\nvar javascripts = minimatch.match(fileList, \"*.js\", {matchBase: true}))\n```\n\n### minimatch.makeRe(pattern, options)\n\nMake a regular expression object from the pattern.\n\n## Options\n\nAll options are `false` by default.\n\n### debug\n\nDump a ton of stuff to stderr.\n\n### nobrace\n\nDo not expand `{a,b}` and `{1..3}` brace sets.\n\n### noglobstar\n\nDisable `**` matching against multiple folder names.\n\n### dot\n\nAllow patterns to match filenames starting with a period, even if\nthe pattern does not explicitly have a period in that spot.\n\nNote that by default, `a/**/b` will **not** match `a/.d/b`, unless `dot`\nis set.\n\n### noext\n\nDisable \"extglob\"stylepatternslike`+(a|b)`.\n\n###nocase\n\nPerformacase-insensitivematch.\n\n###nonull\n\nWhenamatchisnotfoundby`minimatch.match`,returnali
