13 * glob_match - Shell-style pattern matching, like !fnmatch(pat, str, 0)
14 * @pat: Shell-style pattern to match, e.g. "*.[ch]".
15 * @str: String to match. The pattern must match the entire string.
16 *
17 * Perform shell-style glob matching, returning true (1) if the match
18 * succeeds, or false (0) if it fails. Equivalent to !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0).
19 *
20 * Pattern metacharacters are ?, *, [ and \.
21 * (And, inside character classes, !, - and ].)
22 *
23 * This is small and simple implementation intended for device blacklists
24 * where a string is matched against a number of patterns. Thus, it
25 * does not preprocess the patterns. It is non-recursive, and run-time
26 * is at most quadratic: strlen(@str)*strlen(@pat).
27 *
28 * An example of the worst case is glob_match("*aaaaa", "aaaaaaaaaa");
29 * it takes 6 passes over the pattern before matching the string.
30 *
31 * Like !fnmatch(@pat, @str, 0) and unlike the shell, this does NOT
32 * treat / or leading . specially; it isn't actually used for pathnames.
33 *
34 * Note that according to glob(7) (and unlike bash), character classes
35 * are complemented by a leading !; this does not support the regex-style
36 * [^a-z] syntax.
37 *
38 * An opening bracket without a matching close is matched literally.
