+    lookup: dirglob
+    author: Estelle Poulin <epoulin@updox.com>
+    version_added: "2.8.5"
+    short_description: list files matching a pattern
+    description:
+        - Matches all directories in a single directory, non-recursively, that match a pattern.
+          It calls Python's "glob" library.
+    options:
+      _terms:
+        description: path(s) of directories to read
+        required: True
+    notes:
+      - Patterns are only supported on directories, not files.
+      - Matching is against local system files on the Ansible controller.
+        To iterate a list of directories on a remote node, use the M(find) module.
+      - Returns a string list of paths joined by commas, or an empty list if no directories match. For a 'true list' pass C(wantlist=True) to the lookup.
