FSH_WILDMATCH - Match using OS/2 wildcards
Purpose
This function provides the mechanism for using OS/2 wildcard semantics to
form a match between an input string and a pattern, taking into account
DBCS considerations.
Calling Sequence
int far pascal FSH_WILDMATCH(pPat, pStr)
char far * pPat;
char far * pStr;
Where
pPat is the pointer to an ASCIIZ pattern string. Wildcards are present and
are interpreted as described below.
ppStr is the pointer to the test string.
Returns
If no error is detected, a zero error code is returned. If an error is
detected, the following error code is returned:
oERROR_NO_META_MATCH
the wildcard match failed.
Remarks
Wildcards provide a general mechanism for pattern matching file names.
There are two distinguished characters that are relevant to this matching.
The '?' character matches one character (not bytes) except at a '. ' or at
the end of a string, where it matches zero characters. The '* ' matches
zero or more characters (not bytes) with no implied boundaries except the
end-of-string.
For example, 'a*b' matches 'ab' and 'aCCCCCCCCC' while 'a?b' matches 'aCb'
but does not match 'aCCCCCCCCCb'
See the section on meta characters in this document for additional
information.
The FSD should uppercase the pattern and string before calling
FSH_WILDMATCH to achieve a case-insensitive compare.
Note: OS/2 does not validate input parameters. An FSD, therefore, should
call FSH_PROBEBUF where appropriate.
