$extensions

(Optional) Array of extensions to find, string of a single extension, or null for all extensions.

Default value: null

$depth

(Optional) How many levels deep to search for files. Accepts 0, 1+, or -1 (infinite depth). Default 0.

$relative_path

(Optional) The basename of the absolute path. Used to control the returned path for the found files, particularly when this function recurses to lower depths.
