What is Glob Module in Python?

The glob module in Python is a handy tool for finding files and directories whose names match a specific pattern. It uses Unix shell rules for pattern matching, allowing you to easily search for files with certain extensions, files starting with a particular name, or any other combination of criteria you define using wildcards. The main function in this module, also named glob, takes a pattern as input and returns a list of all the pathnames that match it.
