A set of flags that alter the matching behavior of fnmatch

fn fnmatch[link]

fn fnmatch(pattern: str, string: str, flags: flag = flag::NONE) bool;

Check whether the 'string' matches the 'pattern', which is a shell wildcard pattern with the following matching rules:

• '?' matches any single character
• '*' matches any string, including the empty string
• '[' and ']' enclose a bracket expression. Matching rules for bracket expressions are identical to those of bracket subexpressions in regular expressions, except that '!' takes the role of '^' when placed right after the opening '['.
• '\' escapes the following character, e. g. "\*" only matches literal '*' and has no special meaning
• all other characters only match themselves

A set of flags that alter the matching behavior may be passed to fnmatch. For an explanation of their meaning, see flag.
