NAME
fnmatch - match filename or pathname
SYNOPSIS
#include <fnmatch.h>
I int fnmatch(const char * pattern , const char * string , int flags );
DESCRIPTION
The
R fnmatch ()
function checks whether the
string
argument matches the
pattern
argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern.
The
flags
argument modifies the behavior; it is the bitwise OR of zero or more
of the following flags:
FNM_NOESCAPE
If this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary character,
instead of an escape character.
FNM_PATHNAME
If this flag is set, match a slash in
string
only with a slash in
pattern
and not by an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) metacharacter,
nor by a bracket expression ([]) containing a slash.
FNM_PERIOD
If this flag is set, a leading period in
string
has to be matched exactly by a period in
R pattern .
A period is considered to be leading if it is the first character in
R string ,
or if both
FNM_PATHNAME
is set and the period immediately follows a slash.
FNM_FILE_NAME
This is a GNU synonym for FNM_PATHNAME.
FNM_LEADING_DIR
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is considered to be
matched if it matches an initial segment of
string
which is followed by a slash.
This flag is mainly for the internal
use of glibc and is only implemented in certain cases.
FNM_CASEFOLD
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched
case-insensitively.
RETURN VALUE
Zero if
string
matches
R pattern ,
FNM_NOMATCH
if there is no match or another non-zero value if there is an error.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.2.
The
R FNM_FILE_NAME , FNM_LEADING_DIR , and FNM_CASEFOLD
flags are GNU extensions.
