Functions

func Match

func Match(pattern, name string) (matched bool, err error)

Match reports whether name matches the shell file name pattern. The pattern syntax is:

pattern:
  { term }
term:
  '**'        matches any sequence of characters
  '*'         matches any sequence of non-/ characters
  '?'         matches any single non-/ character
  '[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
              character class (must be non-empty)
  c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
  '\\' c      matches character c

character-range:
  c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
  '\\' c      matches character c
  lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi

Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring. The only possible returned error is ErrBadPattern, when pattern is malformed.
