Introducing License Enforcement in Socket

Wildcard Match provides an enhanced fnmatch
, glob
, and pathlib
library in order to provide file matching and
globbing that more closely follows the features found in Bash. In some ways these libraries are similar to Python's
builtin libraries as they provide a similar interface to match, filter, and glob the file system. But they also include
a number of features found in Bash's globbing such as backslash escaping, brace expansion, extended glob pattern groups,
etc. They also add a number of new useful functions as well, such as globmatch
which functions like fnmatch
, but for
paths.
Wildcard Match also adds a file search utility called wcmatch
that is built on top of fnmatch
and globmatch
. It
was originally written for Rummage, but split out into this project to be
used by other projects that may find its approach useful.
Bash is used as a guide when making decisions on behavior for fnmatch
and glob
. Behavior may differ from Bash
version to Bash version, but an attempt is made to keep Wildcard Match up with the latest relevant changes. With all of
this said, there may be a few corner cases in which we've intentionally chosen to not exactly mirror Bash. If an issue
is found where Wildcard Match seems to deviate in an illogical way, we'd love to hear about it in the
issue tracker.
