int exeext

(

const char *

)

double fstrcmp	(	const char *	,
		const char *
	)

int gmatch	(	const char *	pattern,
		const char *	candidate
	)

The gmatch() function checks whether the "candidate" argument matches the "pattern" argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern.

Parameters:

pattern	The pattern to be matched. See glob(3) for a description of file name patterns.
candidate	The string to be tested for matching against the pattern.

Returns:

int; 1 for a match, 0 for no match, -1 for invalid pattern.

int gmatch	(	const nstring &	pattern,
		const nstring &	candidate
	)

The gmatch() function checks whether the "candidate" argument matches the "pattern" argument, which is a shell wildcard pattern.

Parameters:

pattern	The pattern to be matched. See glob(3) for a description of file name patterns.
candidate	The string to be tested for matching against the pattern.

Returns:

int; 1 for a match, 0 for no match, -1 for invalid pattern.

unsigned long r250

(

void

)
