-.TH fnmatch 3 2023-10-31 "Linux man-pages 6.7"
-.SH NAME
-fnmatch \- match filename or pathname
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <fnmatch.h>
-.P
-.BI "int fnmatch(const char *" "pattern" ", const char *" string ", int " flags );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR fnmatch ()
-function checks whether the
-.I string
-argument matches the
-.I pattern
-argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern (see
-.BR glob (7)).
-.P
-The
-.I flags
-argument modifies the behavior; it is the bitwise OR of zero or more
-of the following flags:
-.TP
-.B FNM_NOESCAPE
-If this flag is set, treat backslash as an ordinary character,
-instead of an escape character.
-.TP
-.B FNM_PATHNAME
-If this flag is set, match a slash in
-.I string
-only with a slash in
-.I pattern
-and not by an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) metacharacter,
-nor by a bracket expression ([]) containing a slash.
-.TP
-.B FNM_PERIOD
-If this flag is set, a leading period in
-.I string
-has to be matched exactly by a period in
-.IR pattern .
-A period is considered to be leading if it is the first character in
-.IR string ,
-or if both
-.B FNM_PATHNAME
-is set and the period immediately follows a slash.
-.TP
-.B FNM_FILE_NAME
-This is a GNU synonym for
-.BR FNM_PATHNAME .
-.TP
-.B 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
-.I string
-which is followed by a slash.
-This flag is mainly for the internal
-use of glibc and is implemented only in certain cases.
-.TP
-.B FNM_CASEFOLD
-If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, the pattern is matched
-case-insensitively.
-.TP
-.B FNM_EXTMATCH
-If this flag (a GNU extension) is set, extended patterns are
-supported, as introduced by \&'ksh' and now supported by other shells.
-The extended format is as follows, with \fIpattern\-list\fR
-being a \&'|' separated list of patterns.
-.TP
-\&'?(\fIpattern\-list\fR)'
-The pattern matches if zero or one occurrences of any of the
-patterns in the \fIpattern\-list\fR match the input \fIstring\fR.
-.TP
-\&'*(\fIpattern\-list\fR)'
-The pattern matches if zero or more occurrences of any of the
-patterns in the \fIpattern\-list\fR match the input \fIstring\fR.
-.TP
-\&'+(\fIpattern\-list\fR)'
-The pattern matches if one or more occurrences of any of the
-patterns in the \fIpattern\-list\fR match the input \fIstring\fR.
-.TP
-\&'@(\fIpattern\-list\fR)'
-The pattern matches if exactly one occurrence of any of the
-patterns in the \fIpattern\-list\fR match the input \fIstring\fR.
-.TP
-\&'!(\fIpattern\-list\fR)'
-The pattern matches if the input \fIstring\fR cannot be matched with
-any of the patterns in the \fIpattern\-list\fR.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-Zero if
-.I string
-matches
-.IR pattern ,
-.B FNM_NOMATCH
-if there is no match or another nonzero value if there is an error.
