[PATCH] fnmatch.3: update FNM_CASEFOLD availability, FNM_IGNORECASE alias

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Every system I looked at already had FNM_CASEFOLD,
so calling it "GNU" is misleading at best;
Solaris (and the illumos gate) call it FNM_IGNORECASE
but also provide FNM_CASEFOLD as an alias.

POSIX defines them as being the same,
I think the F_C == F_I syntax does this perfect justice
without being really wordy for no good reason.
