.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.
