fnmatch

FNMATCH(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							FNMATCH(3)

NAME

       fnmatch - match filename or pathname

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fnmatch.h>

       int fnmatch(const char *pattern, const char *string, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The fnmatch() function checks whether the string argument matches the pattern argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern.

       The flags argument modifies the behaviour; 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, for example, with a [] - sequence containing a
	      slash.

       FNM_PERIOD
	      If 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_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 pattern, FNM_NOMATCH if there is no match or another non-zero value if there is an error.

CONFORMING TO

       ISO/IEC 9945-2: 1993 (POSIX.2).	The FNM_FILE_NAME, FNM_LEADING_DIR, and FNM_CASEFOLD flags are GNU extensions.
