Function Details

[hide private]

fnmatch(name, pat)

source code

Test whether FILENAME matches PATTERN.

Patterns are Unix shell style:

* matches everything ? matches any single character [seq] matches any character in seq [!seq] matches any char not in seq

An initial period in FILENAME is not special. Both FILENAME and PATTERN are first case-normalized if the operating system requires it. If you don't want this, use fnmatchcase(FILENAME, PATTERN).

fnmatchcase(name, pat)

source code

Test whether FILENAME matches PATTERN, including case.

This is a version of fnmatch() which doesn't case-normalize its arguments.

translate(pat)

source code

Translate a shell PATTERN to a regular expression.

There is no way to quote meta-characters.
