+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This utility procedure determines whether a string matches
+a given pattern.  If it does, then \fBTcl_StringMatch\fR returns
+1.  Otherwise \fBTcl_StringMatch\fR returns 0.  The algorithm
+used for matching is the same algorithm used in the ``string match''
+Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-shell
+for file name matching;  see the Tcl manual entry for details.
