glibc uses:

#define GLOB_ERR        (1 << 0)/* Return on read errors.  */
#define GLOB_MARK       (1 << 1)/* Append a slash to each name.  */
#define GLOB_NOSORT     (1 << 2)/* Don't sort the names.  */
#define GLOB_DOOFFS     (1 << 3)/* Insert PGLOB->gl_offs NULLs.  */
#define GLOB_NOCHECK    (1 << 4)/* If nothing matches, return the
pattern.  */
#define GLOB_APPEND     (1 << 5)/* Append to results of a previous
call.  */
#define GLOB_NOESCAPE   (1 << 6)/* Backslashes don't quote
metacharacters.  */
#define GLOB_PERIOD     (1 << 7)/* Leading `.' can be matched by
metachars.  */

and some extensions:

# define GLOB_MAGCHAR    (1 << 8)/* Set in gl_flags if any metachars
seen.  */
# define GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC (1 << 9)/* Use gl_opendir et al functions.  */
# define GLOB_BRACE      (1 << 10)/* Expand "{a,b}" to "a" "b".  */
# define GLOB_NOMAGIC    (1 << 11)/* If no magic chars, return the
pattern.  */
# define GLOB_TILDE      (1 << 12)/* Expand ~user and ~ to home
directories. */
# define GLOB_ONLYDIR    (1 << 13)/* Match only directories.  */
# define GLOB_TILDE_CHECK (1 << 14)/* Like GLOB_TILDE but return an
error
                                      if the user name is not
available.  */

Their error returns are:

#define GLOB_NOSPACE    1       /* Ran out of memory.  */
#define GLOB_ABORTED    2       /* Read error.  */
#define GLOB_NOMATCH    3       /* No matches found.  */
#define GLOB_NOSYS      4       /* Not implemented.  */
