1*9588ddcfSespie@deftypefn Replacement int fnmatch (const char *@var{pattern}, const char *@var{string}, int @var{flags}) 2*9588ddcfSespie 3*9588ddcfSespieMatches @var{string} against @var{pattern}, returning zero if it 4*9588ddcfSespiematches, @code{FNM_NOMATCH} if not. @var{pattern} may contain the 5*9588ddcfSespiewildcards @code{?} to match any one character, @code{*} to match any 6*9588ddcfSespiezero or more characters, or a set of alternate characters in square 7*9588ddcfSespiebrackets, like @samp{[a-gt8]}, which match one character (@code{a} 8*9588ddcfSespiethrough @code{g}, or @code{t}, or @code{8}, in this example) if that one 9*9588ddcfSespiecharacter is in the set. A set may be inverted (i.e., match anything 10*9588ddcfSespieexcept what's in the set) by giving @code{^} or @code{!} as the first 11*9588ddcfSespiecharacter in the set. To include those characters in the set, list them 12*9588ddcfSespieas anything other than the first character of the set. To include a 13*9588ddcfSespiedash in the set, list it last in the set. A backslash character makes 14*9588ddcfSespiethe following character not special, so for example you could match 15*9588ddcfSespieagainst a literal asterisk with @samp{\*}. To match a literal 16*9588ddcfSespiebackslash, use @samp{\\}. 17*9588ddcfSespie 18*9588ddcfSespie@code{flags} controls various aspects of the matching process, and is a 19*9588ddcfSespieboolean OR of zero or more of the following values (defined in 20*9588ddcfSespie@code{<fnmatch.h>}): 21*9588ddcfSespie 22*9588ddcfSespie@table @code 23*9588ddcfSespie 24*9588ddcfSespie@item FNM_PATHNAME 25*9588ddcfSespie@itemx FNM_FILE_NAME 26*9588ddcfSespie@var{string} is assumed to be a path name.

For example, @samp{foo*} would match either @samp{foobar} 41*9588ddcfSespieor @samp{foobar/grill}. 42*9588ddcfSespie 43*9588ddcfSespie@item FNM_CASEFOLD 44*9588ddcfSespieIgnores case when performing the comparison. 45*9588ddcfSespie 46*9588ddcfSespie@end table 47*9588ddcfSespie 48*9588ddcfSespie@end deftypefn 49
