Functions

func MatchPattern

func MatchPattern(pattern string) func(name string) bool

MatchPattern(pattern)(name) reports whether name matches pattern. Pattern is a limited glob pattern in which '...' means 'any string' and there is no other special syntax. Unfortunately, there are two special cases. Quoting "go help packages":

First, /... at the end of the pattern can match an empty string, so that net/... matches both net and packages in its subdirectories, like net/http. Second, any slash-separated pattern element containing a wildcard never participates in a match of the "vendor" element in the path of a vendored package, so that ./... does not match packages in subdirectories of ./vendor or ./mycode/vendor, but ./vendor/... and ./mycode/vendor/... do. Note, however, that a directory named vendor that itself contains code is not a vendored package: cmd/vendor would be a command named vendor, and the pattern cmd/... matches it.

func MatchSimplePattern

func MatchSimplePattern(pattern string) func(name string) bool

MatchSimplePattern returns a function that can be used to check whether a given name matches a pattern, where pattern is a limited glob pattern in which '...' means 'any string', with no other special syntax. There is one special case for MatchPatternSimple: according to the rules in "go help packages": a /... at the end of the pattern can match an empty string, so that net/... matches both net and packages in its subdirectories, like net/http.

func TreeCanMatchPattern

func TreeCanMatchPattern(pattern string) func(name string) bool

TreeCanMatchPattern(pattern)(name) reports whether name or children of name can possibly match pattern. Pattern is the same limited glob accepted by MatchPattern.
