Functions

auto changeExtension(const std::string& file, const std::string& ext) -> std::string
Replaces the extension of the given filename to the given ext.
auto normalizePath(const std::string& srcPath) -> std::string
This function will recursively remove any ellipsis in paths or path patterns, as well as the parent directory the ellisis is bypassing. This is so that if the ellipsis spans an OS link any function consuming the path does not get lost. If the ellipsis is at the beginning of srcPath then it is ignored.
auto globDirs(const std::string& pattern) -> std::vector<std::string>
This function will perform [glob-based pattern matching] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)) to find and return all the files and directories that match the pattern.
