FNMATCH(3am)                        GNU Awk Extension Modules                        FNMATCH(3am)

NAME
       fnmatch - compare a string against a filename wildcard

SYNOPSIS
       @load "fnmatch"

       result = fnmatch(pattern, string, flags)

DESCRIPTION
       The fnmatch extension provides an AWK interface to the fnmatch(3) routine.  It adds a sin-
       gle function named fnmatch(), one predefined variable (FNM_NOMATCH), and an array of  flag
       values named FNM.

       The  first  argument is the filename wildcard to match, the second is the filename string,
       and the third is either zero, or the bitwise OR of one or more of the flags in the FNM ar-
       ray.

       The  return value is zero on success, FNM_NOMATCH if the string did not match the pattern,
       or a different non-zero value if an error occurred.

       The flags are follows:

       FNM["CASEFOLD"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_CASEFOLD flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

       FNM["FILE_NAME"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_FILE_NAME flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

       FNM["LEADING_DIR"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_LEADING_DIR flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

       FNM["NOESCAPE"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_NOESCAPE flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

       FNM["PATHNAME"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_PATHNAME flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

       FNM["PERIOD"]
              Corresponds to the FNM_PERIOD flag as defined in fnmatch(3).

NOTES
       Nothing prevents AWK code from changing the predefined variable FNM_NOMATCH, but doing  so
       may cause strange results.

EXAMPLE
       @load "fnmatch"
       ...
       flags = or(FNM["PERIOD"], FNM["NOESCAPE"])
       if (fnmatch("*.a", "foo.c", flags) == FNM_NOMATCH)
            print "no match"
