Tcl_StringMatch(3) Tcl Library Procedures
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_StringMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_StringMatch(_s_t_r_i_n_g, _p_a_t_t_e_r_n)
ARGUMENTS
char*_s_t_r_i_n_g(in)
String to test.
char*_p_a_t_t_e_r_n(in)
Pattern to match against string. May contain special char-
acters from the set *?\[].
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a
given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1.
Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for
matching is the same algorithm used in the ``string match''
Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-
shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for
details.
