Constants

posix.fnmatch

Fnmatch constants. Any constants not available in the underlying system will be nil valued.

Fields:

• FNM_PATHNAME int slashes in pathname must be matched by slash in pattern
• FNM_NOESCAPE int disable backslash escaping
• FNM_NOMATCH int match failed
• FNM_PERIOD int periods in pathname must be matched by period in pattern

Usage:

-- Print fnmatch constants supported on this host.
for name, value in pairs (require "posix.fnmatch") do
  if type (value) == "number" then
    print (name, value)
   end
end
