19.4.14 pathname-match-p | Function
Syntax: pathname-match-p pathname wildcard generalized-boolean Arguments and Values: pathname - a pathname designator. wildcard - a designator for a wild pathname. generalized-boolean - a generalized boolean. Description: pathname-match-p returns true if pathname matches wildcard, otherwise nil. The matching rules are implementation-defined but should be consistent with directory. Missing components of wildcard default to `:wild`. It is valid for pathname to be a wild pathname; a wildcard field in pathname only matches a wildcard field in wildcard (i.e., pathname-match-p is not commutative). It is valid for wildcard to be a non-wild pathname. Exceptional Situations: If pathname or wildcard is not a pathname, string, or stream associated with a file an error of type type-error is signaled. See Also: directory, pathname, logical-pathname, Section 20.1 File System Concepts, Section 19.1.2 Pathnames as Filenames Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
