|
|
|
.BR fnmatch ()
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
function checks whether the
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
|
|
|
argument matches the
|
|
|
|
.I pattern
|
|
|
|
argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern.
|
|
|

.PP
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.I flags
|
2007-06-08 09:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
argument modifies the behavior; it is the bitwise OR of zero or more
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
of the following flags:
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B FNM_NOESCAPE
|
|
|
|
If this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary character,
|
|
|
|
instead of an escape character.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B FNM_PATHNAME
|
|
|
|
If this flag is set, match a slash in
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
|
|
|
only with a slash in
|
|
|
|
.I pattern
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
and not by an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) metacharacter,
|
2006-02-14 05:03:56 +00:00
|
|
|
nor by a bracket expression ([]) containing a slash.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B FNM_PERIOD
|
|
|
|
If this flag is set, a leading period in
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
|
|
|
has to be matched exactly by a period in
|
|
|
|
.IR pattern .
|
|
|
|
A period is considered to be leading if it is the first character in
|
|
|
|
.IR string ,
|
|
|
|
or if both
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
.B FNM_PATHNAME
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
is set and the period immediately follows a slash.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B FNM_FILE_NAME
|
|
|
|
This is a GNU synonym for \fBFNM_PATHNAME\fR.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B 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
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
which is followed by a slash.
|
|
|
|
This flag is mainly for the internal
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
use of glibc and is only implemented in certain cases.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B FNM_CASEFOLD
|
|
|
|
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched
|
|
|
|
case-insensitively.
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
|
|
Zero if
|
|
|
|
.I string
|
|
|
|
matches
|
|
|
|
.IR pattern ,

The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "non-" etc.
