Summary

Macros

Macro Name and Value Description
FNM_PATHNAME   0x1 If this flag is set, a slash (/) in string can be matched by a slash (/) in pattern, but not by an asterisk (), or a question mark (?), or a bracket expression ([]) containing a slash.
FNM_NOESCAPE   0x2 If this flag is set, the backslash () is treated as an ordinary character, instead of an escape character.
FNM_PERIOD   0x4 If this flag is set, a leading period (.) in string can be exactly matched by the period (.) in pattern. A period is considered to be leading if it is the first character in string, or if both FNM_PATHNAME is set and the period immediately follows a slash.
FNM_LEADING_DIR   0x8 If this flag is set, a trailing sequence of characters starting with a slash (/) is ignored in string. For example, if this flag is set, either foo or foobar as a pattern would match the string foobar/frobozz.
FNM_CASEFOLD   0x10 If this flag is set, the pattern is matched case-insensitively.
FNM_FILE_NAME   FNM_PATHNAME The definition is similar to that of FNM_PATHNAME.
FNM_NOMATCH   1 The string parameter does not match the pattern parameter.
FNM_NOSYS   (-1) The function does not support the operation.
