    \qmltype PathProbe
    \ingroup list-of-probes

    \keyword QML.PathProbe

    \brief Locates files outside the project.

    Finds files that have the specified file name suffix, such as \e .exe, from the specified
    locations.

    PathProbe takes as input lists of paths to search files from and file name patterns. The paths
    are specified by using the searchPaths, platformSearchPaths, environmentPaths, and
    platformEnvironmentPaths properties. The file name patterns are specified by the \l names and
    nameSuffixes properties. Returns the first file that matches the file name patterns. If no such
    file is found, the \l {Probe::found}{probe.found} property is set to \c false.

    For example, a simple PathProbe that searches for the stdio.h header can be used as follows:

    \code
    Product {
        Depends { name: "cpp" }
        PathProbe {
            id: probe
            pathSuffixes: ["include"]
            names: ["stdio.h"]
        }
        cpp.includePaths: probe.found ? [probe.path] : []
    }
    \endcode
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty varList PathProbe::allResults

    This property contains the list of objects, each object representing a single found file:
    \code
    {
        found: true,
        candidatePaths: ["path1/to/file", "path2/to/file", ...]
        filePath: "path/to/file"
        fileName: "file"
        path: "path/to"
    }
    \endcode
    \sa {PathProbe::filePath}{filePath}, {PathProbe::fileName}{fileName},
    {PathProbe::path}{path}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty var PathProbe::candidateFilter

    This property holds the function that can be used to filter out unsuitable candidates.
    For example, when searching for a library, it might be necessary to check its architecture:
    \code
    PathProbe {
        pathSuffixes: ["*.so", *.dll]
        candidateFilter: {
            function getLibraryArchitecture(file) { ... }
            return function(file) {
                return Utilities.isSharedLibrary(file)
                        && getLibraryArchitecture(file) == qbs.architecture;
            }
        }
    }
    \endcode
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::names

    The list of file names to search for.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::nameSuffixes

    The list of file suffixes to search for. These suffixes are appended to every file name passed
    via the \l names property.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty script PathProbe::nameFilter

    A script that is executed for each file name before prepending file suffixes. Can be used to
    transform file names.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty pathList PathProbe::searchPaths

    The list of paths where to search files.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty pathList PathProbe::platformSearchPaths

    The list of platform paths where to search files.

    \defaultvalue \c {['/usr', '/usr/local']} on Unix hosts, empty otherwise
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::pathSuffixes

    A list of relative paths that are appended to each path where PathProbe searches for files.
    That is, the file should be located within one of the subfolders passed using this
    property.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::environmentPaths

    The list of environment variables that contains paths where to search files. Paths in the
    environment variable should be separated using
    \l{qbs::pathListSeparator}{qbs.pathListSeparator}.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::platformEnvironmentPaths

    The list of platform environment variables that contains paths where to search files. Paths in
    the environment variable should be separated using
    \l{qbs::pathListSeparator}{qbs.pathListSeparator}.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList PathProbe::candidatePaths

    This property contains the result list of all paths that were checked before a file was found
    (including the file names).

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string PathProbe::path

    This property contains the full path where the found file is located
    (that is, the file directory).

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string PathProbe::filePath

    This property contains the full path to the found file, including the file name.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string PathProbe::fileName

    This property contains the found file's name (excluding the path).

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty varList PathProbe::selectors

    This property should be used to search for multiple files. It contains the list of selectors
    each of which describes a single file to search for. A selector can be either a string, a
    stringList, or a dictionary.

    The following example searches for three files and illustrates different ways to specify
    selectors:
    \code
    selectors: [
        // 1st file with a single name
        "header.h",
        // 2nd file with possible name variants
        ["config.h", "foo-config.h", "bar-config.h"],
        // 3rd file with possible name and suffix variants
        {names: ["footk", "footk-version"], nameSuffixes: [".h", ".hpp"]}
    ]
    \endcode
*/
