18 __''pattern''__, const char *__''string''__, int__ ''flags''__);

20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 The __fnmatch()__ function checks whether the
24 ''string'' argument matches the ''pattern'' argument,
25 which is a shell wildcard pattern.
26
27
28 The ''flags'' argument modifies the behaviour; it is the
29 bitwise OR of zero or more of the following
30 flags:
31
32
33 __FNM_NOESCAPE__
34
35
36 If this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary
37 character, instead of an escape character.
38
39
40 __FNM_PATHNAME__
41
42
43 If this flag is set, match a slash in ''string'' only
44 with a slash in ''pattern'' and not, for example, with a
45 [[] - sequence containing a slash.
46
47
48 __FNM_PERIOD__
49
50
51 If this flag is set, a leading period in ''string'' has
52 to be matched exactly by a period in ''pattern''. A
53 period is considered to be leading if it is the first
54 character in ''string'', or if both __FNM_PATHNAME__
55 is set and the period immediately follows a
56 slash.
57
58
59 __FNM_FILE_NAME__
60
61
62 This is a GNU synonym for __FNM_PATHNAME__.
63
64
65 __FNM_LEADING_DIR__
66
67
68 If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is
69 considered to be matched if it matches an initial segment of
70 ''string'' which is followed by a slash. This flag is
71 mainly for the internal use of glibc and is only implemented
72 in certain cases.
73
74
75 __FNM_CASEFOLD__
76
77
78 If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is
79 matched case-insensitively.
80 !!RETURN VALUE
81
82
83 Zero if ''string'' matches ''pattern'',
84 __FNM_NOMATCH__ if there is no match or another non-zero
85 value if there is an error.
86 !!CONFORMING TO
87
88
89 ISO/IEC 9945-2: 1993 (POSIX.2). The __FNM_FILE_NAME__,
90 __FNM_LEADING_DIR__, and __FNM_CASEFOLD__ flags are
91 GNU extensions.
