 def multi_load(inputs, ac_parser=None, ac_template=False, ac_context=None, **options):
 r""" Load multiple config files. .. note:: :func:`load` is a preferable alternative and this API should be used only if there is a need to emphasize given inputs are multiple ones. The first argument 'inputs' may be a list of a file paths or a glob pattern specifying them or a pathlib.Path object represents file[s] or a namedtuple 'anyconfig.globals.IOInfo' object represents some inputs to load some data from. About glob patterns, for example, is, if a.yml, b.yml and c.yml are in the dir /etc/foo/conf.d/, the followings give same results:: multi_load(["/etc/foo/conf.d/a.yml", "/etc/foo/conf.d/b.yml", "/etc/foo/conf.d/c.yml", ]) multi_load("/etc/foo/conf.d/*.yml") :param inputs: A list of file path or a glob pattern such as r'/a/b/\*.json'to list of files, file or file-like object or pathlib.Path object represents the file or a namedtuple 'anyconfig.globals.IOInfo' object represents some inputs to load some data from :param ac_parser: Forced parser type or parser object :param ac_template: Assume configuration file may be a template file and try to compile it AAR if True :param ac_context: Mapping object presents context to instantiate template :param options: Optional keyword arguments: - ac_dict, ac_ordered, ac_schema and ac_query are the options common in :func:`single_load`, :func:`multi_load`, :func:`load`: and :func:`loads`. See the descriptions of them in :func:`single_load`. - Options specific to this function and :func:`load`: - ac_merge (merge):
 Specify strategy of how to merge results loaded from multiple configuration files. See the doc of :mod:`anyconfig.dicts` for more details of strategies. The default is anyconfig.dicts.MS_DICTS. - ac_marker (marker):
 Globbing marker to detect paths patterns. - Common backend options: - ignore_missing: Ignore and just return empty result if given file 'path' does not exist. - Backend specific options such as {"indent": 2} for JSON backend :return: Mapping object or any query result might be primitive objects :raises: ValueError, UnknownProcessorTypeError, UnknownFileTypeError """
