2018-01-05stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirsHans Bolinder
The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang source files one level below the "src" directory, and now filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src". The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in filename(3).

This reverts commit 0717a2194e863f3a78595184ccc5637697f03353, reversing changes made to 71a40658a0cef8b3e25df3a8e48a72d0563a89bf.
2017-10-11Don't allow null chars in various stringsRickard Green
Various places that now reject null chars inside strings - Primitive file operations reject it in filenames. - Primitive environment variable operations reject it in names and values. - os:cmd() reject it in its input. Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment variable operations in environment variable names. Documentation has been updated to document null characters in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change in the future.
2017-10-04Implement escaping of special characters in wildcardsBjörn Gustavsson
Allow characters with special meaning to be escaped using \ (which must be writen as \\ in a string). That allows matching of filenames containing characters that are special in wildcards. This is an incompatible change, but note that the use of backslashes in wildcards would already work differently on Windows and Unix. Take for example this call: filelib:wildcard("a\\b") On Windows, filelib:wildcard/1 would look for a directory named "a", and a file or directory named "b" inside it. On Unix, filelib:wildcard/1 would look for a file named "a\\b". With this commit applied, filelib:wildcard/1 will look for a file named "ab" on both Windows and Unix. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-451

2017-02-04Add filelib:find_file/2/3 and filelib:find_source/1/2/3Richard Carlsson
This moves, extends and exports functionality that previously existed only internally in filename:find_src/1/2, adding the ability to automatically substitute file suffixes and use different rules for different suffixes.
