Hello,
You would think that wild cards (fnmatch) are well known and that they work
the same on all systems. Apparently not.
On GNU clib systems,
fnmatch("a*b/*", "abbb/.x", FNM_PATHNAME|FNM_PERIOD) returns fail
(i.e. FN_NOMATCH).
and on my version of the BSD fnmatch.c it returns success. I could have
messed up the code in porting it into Bacula, but I consider that *highly*
unlikely.
In reading the GNU documentation on fnmatch, it is not clear which is
correct -- in fact, depending on nuances of precedences of the rules, which
is not documented, both interpretations seem to be correct.
Does anyone have any opinions? Am I missing something?
I must admit: this is somewhat a tricky case. :-)
Regards,
Kern
