.Dt FNMATCH 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm fnmatch
|
|
.Nd match filename or pathname
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <fnmatch.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fnmatch "const char *pattern" "const char *string" "int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fnmatch
|
|
function
|
|
matches patterns according to the rules used by the shell.
|
|
It checks the string specified by the
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
argument to see if it matches the pattern specified by the
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument modifies the interpretation of
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa string .
|
|
The value of
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is the bitwise inclusive
|
|
.Tn OR
|
|
of any of the following
|
|
constants, which are defined in the include file
|
|
.Pa fnmatch.h .
|
|
.Bl -tag -width FNM_PATHNAME
|
|
.It Dv FNM_NOESCAPE
|
|
Normally, every occurrence of a backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e
|
|
followed by a character in
|
|
.Fa pattern
|
|
is replaced by that character.
|
|
This is done to negate any special meaning for the character.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv FNM_NOESCAPE
|
|
flag is set, a backslash character is treated as an ordinary character.
|
|
.It Dv FNM_PATHNAME
|
|
Slash characters in
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
must be explicitly matched by slashes in
|
|
.Fa pattern .
|
|
If this flag is not set, then slashes are treated as regular characters.
|
|
.It Dv FNM_PERIOD
|
|
Leading periods in strings match periods in patterns.
|
|
The definition of ``leading'' is related to the specification of
|
|
.Dv FNM_PATHNAME.
|
|
A period is always ``leading'' if it is the first character in
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
Additionally, if
|
|
.Dv FNM_PATHNAME
|
|
is set,
|
|
a period is ``leading'' if it immediately follows a slash.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fnmatch
|
|
function returns zero if
|
|
.Fa string
|
|
matches the pattern specified by
|
|
.Fa pattern ,
|
|
otherwise, it returns the value
|
|
.Dv FNM_NOMATCH .

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fnmatch
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.2 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fnmatch
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The pattern
|
|
.Ql *
|
|
matches the empty string, even if
|
|
.Dv FNM_PATHNAME
|
|
is specified.
