strlazymatch(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hey bestie!! welcome to strlazymatch(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is giving “glob matching but make it chill” energy, and we’re gonna get into it 🦋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

strlazymatch — matching pattern strings lazily with glob pattern 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool strlazymatch (const char *str , const char *pat );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • str — the target string to match. this is the string getting vibe-checked 🫶
  • pat — the pattern string to match. this is the pattern doing the checking 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so it’s similar to strglobmatch, except this one ignores spaces in the target string 😌✨ that’s the whole glow-up, no cap. spaces in the target string? literally ignored. not counted. bye 💀

bestie reminder: the only behavior difference spelled out here is that space-ignoring in the target string. don’t invent extra lore 🙈

mwah 💋 cute little sign-off: the source/version footer tea is ./tools/perf/util, dated October 2026. that’s the whole footer, bestie — now go match those patterns slayfully 🎀💖🔥
