die_match_name(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the <pink>die_match_name(9)</pink> page from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally here to match a DIE name / linkage name against a glob, and that's the whole main-character job. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool die_match_name (Dwarf_Die *dw_die , const char *glob );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dw_die — a DIE. that's the thing we're checking, bestie. 🌸
• glob — a string of the target glob pattern. like the pattern we're matching against. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Glob matching the name of dw_die and glob. If matching fails, it returns false. This also match linkage name. so yes: it's not just about the name, it's also matching the linkage name too. iconic behavior, honestly. 👑
