This works by passing the output of the glob to the function and then counting the number of arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
**CAVEAT:** When the glob does not match anything (empty directory or no matching files) it is not expanded and the function returns `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Function:**

Don’t use `ls`.
|

|
||||
**CAVEAT:** When the glob does not match anything (empty directory or no matching files) the variable will contain the unexpanded glob. To avoid working on unexpanded globs check the existence of the file contained in the variable using the appropriate [file conditional](#file-conditionals). Be aware that symbolic links are resolved.

[ -e "$file" ] || [ -L "$file" ] || continue
