FNMATCH (3)

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.

    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.
