GLOB_MATCH(9)						       libata Core Internals						     GLOB_MATCH(9)

NAME

       glob_match - match a text string against a glob-style pattern

SYNOPSIS

       int glob_match(const char * text, const char * pattern);

ARGUMENTS

       text
	   the string to be examined

       pattern
	   the glob-style pattern to be matched against

DESCRIPTION

       Either/both of text and pattern can be empty strings.

       Match text against a glob-style pattern, with wildcards and simple sets:

       ? matches any single character. * matches any run of characters. [xyz] matches a single character from the set: x, y, or z. [a-d] matches a
       single character from the range: a, b, c, or d. [a-d0-9] matches a single character from either range.

       The special characters ?, [, -, or *, can be matched using a set, eg. [*] Behaviour with malformed patterns is undefined, though generally
       reasonable.

SAMPLE PATTERNS

       "SD1?", "SD1[0-5]", "*R0", "SD*1?[012]*xx"

       This function uses one level of recursion per '*' in pattern. Since it calls _nothing_ else, and has _no_ explicit local variables, this
       will not cause stack problems for any reasonable use here.

RETURNS

       0 on match, 1 otherwise.
