gmatch() checks whether the null-terminated string str matches the null-terminated pattern string pattern. See the sh(1), section File Name Generation, for a discussion of pattern matching. A backslash (\e) is used as an escape character in pattern strings.
gmatch() returns non-zero if the pattern matches the string, zero if the pattern does not.
Example 1 Examples of gmatch() function.
In the following example, gmatch() returns non-zero (true) for all strings with "a" or "-" as their last character.
