.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.B fnmatch
|
||
|
function matches patterns according to the rules used by the shell.
|
||
|
It checks the string specified by the
|
||
|
.IR string
|
||
|
argument to see if it matches the pattern specified by the
|
||
|
.IR pattern
|
||
|
argument.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.IR flags
|
||
|
argument modifies the interpretation of
|
||
|
.IR pattern
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.IR string .
|
||
|
The value of
|
||
|
.IR flags
|
||
|
is the bitwise inclusive OR of any of the following
|
||
|
constants, which are defined in the include file fnmatch.h.
|
||
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
FNM_NOESCAPE
|
||
|
Normally, every occurrence of a backslash followed by a character in
|
||
|
.IR pattern
|
||
|
is replaced by that character.
|
||
|
This is done to negate any special meaning for the character.
|
||
|
If the FNM_NOESCAPE
|
||
|
flag is set, a backslash character is treated as an ordinary character.
|
||
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
FNM_PATHNAME
|
||
|
Slash characters in
|
||
|
.IR string
|
||
|
must be explicitly matched by slashes in
|
||
|
.IR pattern .
|
||
|
If this flag is not set, then slashes are treated as regular characters.
|
||
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
FNM_PERIOD
|
||
|
Leading periods in
|
||
|
.IR string
|
||
|
must be explicitly matched by periods in
|
||
|
.IR pattern .
|
||
|
If this flag is not set, then leading periods are treated as regular
|
||
|
characters.
|
||
|
The definition of leading is related to the specification of FNM_PATHNAME.
|
||
|
A period is always leading if it is the first character in
|
||
|
.IR string .
|
||
|
Additionally, if FNM_PATHNAME is set, a period is leading
|
||
|
if it immediately follows a slash.
|
||
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
FNM_LEADING_DIR
|
||
|
Ignore /* rest after successful
|
||
|
.IR pattern
|
||
|
matching.
|
||
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
FNM_CASEFOLD
|
||
|
Ignore case distinctions in both the
|
||
|
.IR pattern
|
||
|
and the
|
||
|
.IR string .
|
||
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.B fnmatch
|
||
|
function returns zero if
|
||
|
.IR string
|
||
|
matches the pattern specified by
|
||
|
.IR pattern ,
|
||
|
otherwise, it returns the value FNM_NOMATCH.
|
||
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|

|

|
.BR regex (3),

||
|
.SH HISTORY
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.B fnmatch
|
||
|
function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
|
||
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
The pattern * matches the empty string, even if FNM_PATHNAME is specified.
