NAME

6       glob_match - match a text string against a glob-style pattern
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int glob_match(const char * text, const char * pattern);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       text
13           the string to be examined
14
15       pattern
16           the glob-style pattern to be matched against
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Either/both of text and pattern can be empty strings.
20
21       Match text against a glob-style pattern, with wildcards and simple
22       sets:
23
24       ? matches any single character. * matches any run of characters. [xyz]
25       matches a single character from the set: x, y, or z. [a-d] matches a
26       single character from the range: a, b, c, or d. [a-d0-9] matches a
27       single character from either range.
28
29       The special characters ?, [, -, or *, can be matched using a set, eg.
30       [*] Behaviour with malformed patterns is undefined, though generally
31       reasonable.
32

SAMPLE PATTERNS

34       "SD1?“, ”SD1[0-5]“, ”*R0“, ”SD*1?[012]*xx"
35
36       This function uses one level of recursion per '*' in pattern. Since it
37       calls _nothing_ else, and has _no_ explicit local variables, this will
38       not cause stack problems for any reasonable use here.
39

RETURNS

41       0 on match, 1 otherwise.
