int gmatch (const char str, const char pattern);
Description
gmatch checks whether the null-terminated string
str
matches the null-terminated pattern string pattern.
See the
sh(1)
section ``File Name Generation'' for a discussion of pattern matching.
gmatch returns non-zero if the pattern matches the string,
zero if the pattern doesn't.
A backslash (``\'') is used as an escape character in pattern strings.
Examples
char s;
gmatch (s, "[a\-]" )
gmatch
returns non-zero (true) for all strings with `a' or `-'
as their last character.
