Function
fnmatch.fnmatch

Signature

fnmatch(name, pat)

Documentation String

Test whether FILENAME matches PATTERN.

Patterns are Unix shell style:

  • matches everything ? matches any single character [seq] matches any character in seq [!seq] matches any char not in seq

An initial period in FILENAME is not special. Both FILENAME and PATTERN are first case-normalized if the operating system requires it. If you don't want this, use fnmatchcase(FILENAME, PATTERN).
