/**
 * SECTION:patterns
 * @title: Glob-style pattern matching
 * @short_description: matches strings against patterns containing '*'
 *                     (wildcard) and '?' (joker)
 *
 * The <function>g_pattern_match*</function> functions match a string
 * against a pattern containing '*' and '?' wildcards with similar
 * semantics as the standard glob() function: '*' matches an arbitrary,
 * possibly empty, string, '?' matches an arbitrary character.
 *
 * Note that in contrast to glob(), the '/' character
 * <emphasis>can</emphasis> be matched by the wildcards, there are no
 * '[...]' character ranges and '*' and '?' can
 * <emphasis>not</emphasis> be escaped to include them literally in a
 * pattern.
 *
 * When multiple strings must be matched against the same pattern, it
 * is better to compile the pattern to a #GPatternSpec using
 * g_pattern_spec_new() and use g_pattern_match_string() instead of
 * g_pattern_match_simple(). This avoids the overhead of repeated
 * pattern compilation.
