match_keys(3)			 Arcan Lua API			 match_keys(3)

NAME
       match_keys - Return target:value	for keys that match the	specified pat-
       tern

SYNOPSIS
       strtbl
       match_keys( pattern, domain )

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  can  be	used to	retrieve multiple domain:value entries
       where domain:key=value matches for some specific	pattern	for key	(where
       % is used as wildcard, SQL  style). The optional	domain	 argument  can
       be  set to KEY_CONFIG  or to KEY_TARGET	but defaults to	the appl- spe-
       cific key-value store.

EXAMPLE
       function	match_keys0()
	     for i,v in	ipairs(match_keys("%", KEY_CONFIG)) do
		   print(i, v);
	     end
	     for i,v in	ipairs(match_keys("%"))	do
		   local pos, stop = string.find(v, "=", 1);
		   local key = string.sub(v, 1,	pos - 1);
		   local val = string.sub(v, stop + 1);
		   print(key, val);
	     end
       end
