func Match

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

Match - finds whether the text matches/satisfies the pattern string. supports '*' and '?' wildcards in the pattern string. unlike path.Match(), considers a path as a flat name space while matching the pattern. The difference is illustrated in the example here https://play.golang.org/p/Ega9qgD4Qz .

func MatchSimple

func MatchSimple(pattern, name string) bool

MatchSimple - finds whether the text matches/satisfies the pattern string. supports only '*' wildcard in the pattern. considers a file system path as a flat name space.
