                     13: pnmatch matches  string with pattern, which  is a regular expres-
                     14: sion.  The  shell sh  uses patterns  for file name  expansion and
                     15: case statement expressions.
                     16: 
                     17: pnmatch returns  one if  pattern matches  string, and zero  if it
                     18: does not.  Each character in pattern must exactly match a charac-
                     19: ter in string; however, the  wildcards `*', `?', `[', and `]' can
                     20: be used in pattern to expand the range of matching.
                     21: 
                     22: flag must  be either  zero or one:  zero means that  pattern must
                     23: match string  exactly, whereas one  means that pattern  can match
                     24: any part  of string.  In  the latter case, the  wildcards `^' and
                     25: `$' can also be used in pattern.
