fnmatch — match filename or pathname
#include <fnmatch.h>
int
fnmatch( |
const char *pattern, |
| const char *string, | |
int flags); |
The 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_NOESCAPEIf this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary character, instead of an escape character.
FNM_PATHNAMEIf 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_PERIODIf this flag is set, a leading period in string has to be matched
exactly by a period in pattern. A period is
considered to be leading if it is the first character
in string, or
if both FNM_PATHNAME is
set and the period immediately follows a slash.
FNM_FILE_NAMEThis is a GNU synonym for FNM_PATHNAME.
FNM_LEADING_DIRIf 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 implemented only in certain cases.
FNM_CASEFOLDIf this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched case-insensitively.
Zero if string
matches pattern,
FNM_NOMATCH if there is no
match or another nonzero value if there is an error.
POSIX.2. The FNM_FILE_NAME,
FNM_LEADING_DIR, and
FNM_CASEFOLD flags are GNU
extensions.
