<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>fnmatch</B>()
|
|
|
|
function checks whether the
|
|
<I>string</I>
|
|
|
|
argument matches the
|
|
<I>pattern</I>
|
|
|
|
argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern (see
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+glob">glob</A></B>(7)).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<I>flags</I>
|
|
|
|
argument modifies the behavior; it is the bitwise OR of zero or more
|
|
of the following flags:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>FNM_NOESCAPE</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary character,
|
|
instead of an escape character.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>FNM_PATHNAME</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag is set, match a slash in
|
|
<I>string</I>
|
|
|
|
only with a slash in
|
|
<I>pattern</I>
|
|
|
|
and not by an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) metacharacter,
|
|
nor by a bracket expression ([]) containing a slash.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>FNM_PERIOD</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag is set, a leading period in
|
|
<I>string</I>
|
|
|
|
has to be matched exactly by a period in
|
|
<I>pattern</I>.
|
|
|
|
A period is considered to be leading if it is the first character in
|
|
<I>string</I>,
|
|
|
|
or if both
|
|
<B>FNM_PATHNAME</B>
|
|
|
|
is set and the period immediately follows a slash.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>FNM_FILE_NAME</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This is a GNU synonym for
|
|
<B>FNM_PATHNAME</B>.
|
|
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>FNM_LEADING_DIR</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is considered to be
|
|
matched if it matches an initial segment of
|
|
<I>string</I>
|
|
|
|
which is followed by a slash.
|
|
This flag is mainly for the internal
|
|
use of glibc and is implemented only in certain cases.
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>FNM_CASEFOLD</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched
|
|
case-insensitively.
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>FNM_EXTMATCH</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, extended patterns are
|
|
supported, as introduced by 'ksh' and now supported by other shells.
|
|
The extended format is as follows, with <I>pattern-list</I>
|
|
being a '|' separated list of patterns.
|
|
<DT id="8">'?(<I>pattern-list</I>)'<DD>
|
|
The pattern matches if zero or one occurrences of any of the
|
|
patterns in the <I>pattern-list</I> match the input <I>string</I>.
|
|
<DT id="9">'*(<I>pattern-list</I>)'<DD>
|
|
The pattern matches if zero or more occurrences of any of the
|
|
patterns in the <I>pattern-list</I> match the input <I>string</I>.
|
|
<DT id="10">'+(<I>pattern-list</I>)'<DD>
|
|
The pattern matches if one or more occurrences of any of the
|
|
patterns in the <I>pattern-list</I> match the input <I>string</I>.
|
|
<DT id="11">'@(<I>pattern-list</I>)'<DD>
|
|
The pattern matches if exactly one occurrence of any of the
|
|
patterns in the <I>pattern-list</I> match the input <I>string</I>.
|
|
<DT id="12">'!(<I>pattern-list</I>)'<DD>
|
|
The pattern matches if the input <I>string</I> cannot be matched with
|
|
any of the patterns in the <I>pattern-list</I>.
