+\section{Standard Module \sectcode{fnmatch}}
+\stmodindex{fnmatch}
+
+This module provides support for Unix shell-style wildcards, which are
+\emph{not} the same as Python's regular expressions (which are
+documented in the \code{regex} module).  The special characters used
+in shell-style wildcards are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item[\code{*}] matches everything
+\item[\code{?}]	matches any single character
+\item[\code{[}\var{seq}\code{]}] matches any character in \var{seq}
+\item[\code{[!}\var{seq}\code{]}] matches any character not in \var{seq}
+\end{itemize}
+
+Note that the filename separator (\code{'/'} on Unix) is \emph{not}
+special to this module.  See module \code{glob} for pathname expansion
+(\code{glob} uses \code{fnmatch} to match filename segments).
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{fnmatch}{filename\, pattern}
+Test whether the \var{filename} string matches the \var{pattern}
+string, returning true or false.  If the operating system is
+case-insensitive, then both parameters will be normalized to all
+lower- or upper-case before the comparision is performed.  If you
+require a case-sensitive comparision regardless of whether that's
+standard for your operating system, use \code{fnmatchcase()} instead.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{fnmatchcase}{}
+Test whether \var{filename} matches \var{pattern}, returning true or
+false; the comparision is case-sensitive.
+\end{funcdesc}
+
+\begin{funcdesc}{translate}{pattern}
+Translate a shell pattern into a corresponding regular expression,
+returning a string describing the pattern.  It does not compile the
+expression.  
+\end{funcdesc}
