@deftypefn Replacement int fnmatch (const char *@var{pattern}, @ const char *@var{string}, int @var{flags}) Matches @var{string} against @var{pattern}, returning zero if it matches, @code{FNM_NOMATCH} if not. @var{pattern} may contain the wildcards @code{?} to match any one character, @code{*} to match any zero or more characters, or a set of alternate characters in square brackets, like @samp{[a-gt8]}, which match one character (@code{a} through @code{g}, or @code{t}, or @code{8}, in this example) if that one character is in the set. A set may be inverted (i.e., match anything except what's in the set) by giving @code{^} or @code{!} as the first character in the set. To include those characters in the set, list them as anything other than the first character of the set. To include a dash in the set, list it last in the set. A backslash character makes the following character not special, so for example you could match against a literal asterisk with @samp{\*}. To match a literal backslash, use @samp{\\}. @code{flags} controls various aspects of the matching process, and is a boolean OR of zero or more of the following values (defined in @code{<fnmatch.h>}): @table @code @item FNM_PATHNAME @itemx FNM_FILE_NAME @var{string} is assumed to be a path name. No wildcard will ever match @code{/}. @item FNM_NOESCAPE Do not interpret backslashes as quoting the following special character. @item FNM_PERIOD A leading period (at the beginning of @var{string}, or if @code{FNM_PATHNAME} after a slash) is not matched by @code{*} or @code{?} but must be matched explicitly. @item FNM_LEADING_DIR Means that @var{string} also matches @var{pattern} if some initial part of @var{string} matches, and is followed by @code{/} and zero or more characters. For example, @samp{foo*} would match either @samp{foobar} or @samp{foobar/grill}. @item FNM_CASEFOLD Ignores case when performing the comparison. @end table @end deftypefn |
