HELP: ===> wildcard ===> filename listing

[Jonathan I. Kamens]

  Yes, of course it's possible to do the matching in C.  After all, the code
in the shells that does it is written in C.

  Rich Salz has posted to the net a pattern matching function that behaves as
the shell pattern matching.  You can find it in alt.sources archives.  You can
also find it in the sources to GNU tar, so if you ftp the sources to GNU tar
from any GNU archive site, you should be all set.  There's also a globbing
function written by RMS in the bash sources, but it's under the GPL, so if you
don't want to put your code under the GPL, you shouldn't use it.
