shexp_match
The
shexp_match
function compares a specified pre-validated shell expression
against a specified string. It returns one of three possible values representing
match, no match, and invalid comparison. The comparison (in contrast to that of
the
shexp_casecmp
function) is case-sensitive.
The
shexp_match
function doesn’t perform validation of the shell expression;
instead the function assumes that you have already called
shexp_valid
.
Use this function if you have a shell expression like
*.example.com
and you want
to make sure that a string matches it, such as
foo.example.com
.
Syntax
int shexp_match(char *str, char *exp);
Returns
0 if a match was found.
1 if no match was found.
-1 if the comparison resulted in an invalid expression.
Parameters
char *str
is the string to be compared.
char *exp
is the pre-validated shell expression (wildcard pattern) to compare
against.
