FNMATCH(3)                 Linux Programmer’s Manual                FNMATCH(3)



NAME
       fnmatch - 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 argu-
       ment, 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.  This flag is mainly for the internal use of glibc and is only imple-
              mented in certain cases.

       FNM_CASEFOLD
              If  this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched case-insensi-
              tively.

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_CASE-
       FOLD flags are GNU extensions.
