-\section{Standard Module \module{fnmatch}}
-\label{module-fnmatch}
-\stmodindex{fnmatch}
-
-This module provides support for \UNIX{} shell-style wildcards, which
-are \emph{not} the same as regular expressions (which are documented
-in the \module{re}\refstmodindex{re} module). The special characters
-used in shell-style wildcards are:
-
-\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin 0.5in \labelwidth 0.45in}
-\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{list}
-
-Note that the filename separator (\code{'/'} on \UNIX{}) is \emph{not}
-special to this module. See module \code{glob}\refstmodindex{glob}
-for pathname expansion (\module{glob} uses \function{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 \function{fnmatchcase()}
-instead.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{fnmatchcase}{filename, pattern}
-Test whether \var{filename} matches \var{pattern}, returning true or
-false; the comparision is case-sensitive.
-\end{funcdesc}
