.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.
.SH KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string
