\modulesynopsis{\UNIX{} shell style filename pattern matching.}
+\index{filenames!wildcard expansion}
+
This module provides support for \UNIX{} shell-style wildcards, which
are \emph{not} the same as regular expressions (which are documented
in the \refmodule{re}\refstmodindex{re} module). The special
characters used in shell-style wildcards are:
-\index{filenames!wildcard expansion}
-\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}
+\begin{tableii}{c|l}{code}{Pattern}{Meaning}
+ \lineii{*}{matches everything}
+ \lineii{?}{matches any single character}
+ \lineii{[\var{seq}]}{matches any character in \var{seq}}
+ \lineii{[!\var{seq}]}{matches any character not in \var{seq}}
+\end{tableii}
Note that the filename separator (\code{'/'} on \UNIX{}) is \emph{not}
special to this module. See module
\refmodule{glob}\refstmodindex{glob} for pathname expansion

+(\refmodule{glob} uses \function{fnmatch()} to match pathname

+not special for this module, and are matched by the \code{*} and
+\code{?} patterns.
\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
+lower- or upper-case before the comparison is performed. If you
+require a case-sensitive comparison 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.
