◆ strmatch()
| int strmatch | ( | const char * | str, |
| const char ** | list | ||
| ) |
Finds matching strings from a list.
- Parameters
-
str String to look for. list NUL terminated list of strings to search.
This function searches the list of strings for str. If a (partial) match is found it returns the index in the list.
Please note, the list MUST be terminated by a NUL element. If that is not possible, we recommend using strnmatch() instead.
- Returns
- -1 on error, otherwise the index to the matching string.
◆ strnmatch()
| int strnmatch | ( | const char * | str, |
| const char ** | list, | ||
| size_t | num | ||
| ) |

- Parameters
-
str String to look for list List of strings to search. num Number of entries in list.
This function searches the list of strings for str. If a (partial) match is found it returns the index in the list.
Very similar in function to strmatch(), but works for sets of strings that are not NUL terminated.
- Returns
- -1 on error, otherwise the index to the matching string.
