PatternSpec

class PatternSpec(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>) : ProxyInstance

A GPatternSpec struct is the ‘compiled’ form of a glob-style pattern.

The func@GLib.pattern_match_simple and method@GLib.PatternSpec.match functions match a string against a pattern containing * and ? wildcards with similar semantics as the standard glob() function: * matches an arbitrary, possibly empty, string, ? matches an arbitrary character.

Note that in contrast to man:glob(3), the / character can be matched by the wildcards, there are no […] character ranges and * and ? can not be escaped to include them literally in a pattern.

When multiple strings must be matched against the same pattern, it is better to compile the pattern to a struct@GLib.PatternSpec using ctor@GLib.PatternSpec.new and use method@GLib.PatternSpec.match_string instead of func@GLib.pattern_match_simple. This avoids the overhead of repeated pattern compilation.

Functions

Link copied to clipboard
fun copy(): PatternSpec

Copies @pspec in a new type@GLib.PatternSpec.

Link copied to clipboard
fun equal(pspec2: PatternSpec): Boolean

Compares two compiled pattern specs and returns whether they will match the same set of strings.

Link copied to clipboard
open operator override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compare two proxy instances for equality. This will compare both the type of the instances, and their memory addresses.

Link copied to clipboard
fun free()

Frees the memory allocated for the type@GLib.PatternSpec.

Link copied to clipboard
open override fun hashCode(): Int
Link copied to clipboard
fun match(stringLength: <Error class: unknown class>, string: String, stringReversed: String? = null): Boolean

Matches a string against a compiled pattern.

Link copied to clipboard
fun matchString(string: String): Boolean

Matches a string against a compiled pattern.
