gmatch(3G)

NAME
     gmatch - shell global pattern matching

SYNOPSIS
     cc [flag ...] file ... -lgen [library ...]
     #include <libgen.h>
     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.

EXAMPLE
          char *s;
          gmatch (s, "*[a\-]" )


     gmatch returns non-zero (true) for all strings with `a' or `-' as their
     last character.
