func Match

func Match(t testing.TB, pattern, name string) (matched bool)

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

pattern:
	{ term }
term:
	'*'         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.
