        !            33: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            34: .I Fnmatch
        !            35: matches patterns according to the rules used by the shell.
        !            36: It checks the string specified by the
        !            37: .I string
        !            38: argument to see if it matches the pattern specified by the
        !            39: .I pattern
        !            40: argument.
        !            41: .PP
        !            42: The
        !            43: .I flags
        !            44: argument modifies the interpretation of
        !            45: .I pattern
        !            46: and
        !            47: .I string.
        !            48: The value of
        !            49: .I flags
        !            50: is the bitwise inclusive OR of any of the following
        !            51: constants, which are defined in the include file
        !            52: .IR unistd.h .
        !            53: .TP
        !            54: FNM_PATHNAME
        !            55: Slash characters in
        !            56: .I string
        !            57: must be explicitly matched by slashes in
        !            58: .IR pattern .
        !            59: If this flag is not set, then slashes are treated as regular characters.
        !            60: .TP
        !            61: FNM_QUOTE
        !            62: Every occurrence of a backslash (``\e'') followed by a character in
        !            63: .I pattern
        !            64: is replaced by that character.
        !            65: This is done to negate any special meaning for the character.
        !            66: .SH RETURNS
        !            67: If
        !            68: .I string
        !            69: matches the pattern specified by
        !            70: .IR pattern ,
        !            71: then
        !            72: .I fnmatch
        !            73: returns zero.
        !            74: Otherwise,
        !            75: .I fnmatch
        !            76: returns nonzero.

        !            79: .SH BUGS
        !            80: Quotes and slashes in range patterns are not handled correctly.
        !            81: .PP
        !            82: The pattern ``*'' matches the empty string, even if

        !            84: is specified.
