"""
Node: filesystem structure

#. Each file/folder is represented by exactly one node.

#. Some potential class properties are stored on :py:class:`waflib.Build.BuildContext` : nodes to depend on, etc.
   Unused class members can increase the `.wafpickle` file size sensibly.

#. Node objects should never be created directly, use
   the methods :py:func:`Node.make_node` or :py:func:`Node.find_node` for the low-level operations

#. The methods :py:func:`Node.find_resource`, :py:func:`Node.find_dir` :py:func:`Node.find_or_declare` must be
   used when a build context is present

#. Each instance of :py:class:`waflib.Context.Context` has a unique :py:class:`Node` subclass required for serialization.
   (:py:class:`waflib.Node.Nod3`, see the :py:class:`waflib.Context.Context` initializer). A reference to the context
   owning a node is held as *self.ctx*

		"""
		Finds files across folders and returns Node objects:

		* ``**/*`` find all files recursively
		* ``**/*.class`` find all files ending by .class
		* ``..`` find files having two dot characters

		For example::

			def configure(cfg):
				# find all .cpp files
				cfg.path.ant_glob('**/*.cpp')
				# find particular files from the root filesystem (can be slow)
				cfg.root.ant_glob('etc/*.txt')
				# simple exclusion rule example
				cfg.path.ant_glob('*.c*', excl=['*.c'], src=True, dir=False)

		For more information about the patterns, consult http://ant.apache.org/manual/dirtasks.html
		Please remember that the '..' sequence does not represent the parent directory::

			def configure(cfg):
				cfg.path.ant_glob('../*.h') # incorrect
				cfg.path.parent.ant_glob('*.h') # correct

		The Node structure is itself a filesystem cache, so certain precautions must
		be taken while matching files in the build or installation phases.
		Nodes objects that do have a corresponding file or folder are garbage-collected by default.
		This garbage collection is usually required to prevent returning files that do not
		exist anymore. Yet, this may also remove Node objects of files that are yet-to-be built.

		This typically happens when trying to match files in the build directory,
		but there are also cases when files are created in the source directory.
		Run ``waf -v`` to display any warnings, and try consider passing ``remove=False``
		when matching files in the build directory.

		Since ant_glob can traverse both source and build folders, it is a best practice
		to call this method only from the most specific build node::

			def build(bld):
				# traverses the build directory, may need ``remove=False``:
				bld.path.ant_glob('project/dir/**/*.h')
				# better, no accidental build directory traversal:
				bld.path.find_node('project/dir').ant_glob('**/*.h') # best

		In addition, files and folders are listed immediately. When matching files in the
		build folders, consider passing ``generator=True`` so that the generator object
		returned can defer computation to a later stage. For example::

			def build(bld):
				bld(rule='tar xvf ${SRC}', source='arch.tar')
				bld.add_group()
				gen = bld.bldnode.ant_glob("*.h", generator=True, remove=True)
				# files will be listed only after the arch.tar is unpacked
