NAME

       gmatch - shell global pattern matching

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lgen [ library ... ]
       #include <libgen.h>

       int gmatch(const char *str, const char *pattern);

DESCRIPTION

       gmatch()  checks  whether  the  null-terminated string str matches the null-terminated pattern string pattern. See the sh(1), section  File
       Name Generation, for a discussion of pattern matching. A backslash () is used as an escape character in pattern strings.

RETURN VALUES

       gmatch() returns non-zero if the pattern matches the string, zero if the pattern does not.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Examples of gmatch() function.

       In the following example, gmatch() returns non-zero (true) for all strings with "a" or "-" as their last character.

	      char *s;
	      gmatch (s, "*[a-]" )
