fnmatch

Synopsis

int fnmatch(string pattern, string string[, int flags])

Returns true if string matches the shell wildcard pattern given in pattern. See glob for the pattern matching rules. The flags value is a bitwise OR of any of the following values:

FNM_NOESCAPE	Treat backslashes in pattern as backslashes, rather than as the start of an escape sequence.
FNM_PATHNAME	Slash characters in string must be matched explicitly by slashes in pattern.
FNM_PERIOD	A period at the beginning of the string, or before any slash if FNM_PATHNAME is also specified must be explicitly matched by periods in pattern.
FNM_LEADING_DIR	Ignore anything after a “/*” if the pattern matches up to that point.
FNM_CASEFOLD	Ignore case when matching string to pattern.
