LIKE(5re)

🦋 LIKE(5re) — like 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for like 💖 this is the SQL LIKE pattern syntax, and the manual name is LIKE(5re). yes, we're in 5re, and yes, it's giving very specific pattern energy. ✨

also the header is out here saying [FIXME: manual] — noted, bestie, noted. 🫡

💅 NAME 💅

like — SQL LIKE pattern syntax. that's the whole name line, and it ate. 👑

here's the quick vibe check on what a pattern is in this context:

• what a pattern is
• not a regexp
• based on SQL99
• implicitly achored
• list of atoms

Table 1.

(that's the table label, bestie — the page gives us Table 1. and no rows, so we simply respect the mystery 🫶)

💀 CAVEATS 💀

the caveat list is short and shady, but it's real:

• no escape chars
• no [] [^] [!]

that's it. take it as written, bestie — no extra plot twists. 💅
