- DESCRIPTION
- This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a
- given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1.
- Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for
- matching is the same algorithm used in the ``string match''
- Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-
- shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for
- details.
