CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION - wildcard match callback

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     int fnmatch_callback(void *ptr,
			  const char *pattern,
			  const char *string);

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION,
			       fnmatch_callback);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
     shown above.

     This callback is used for wildcard matching.

     Return CURL_FNMATCHFUNC_MATCH if pattern matches the string,  CURL_FNMATCH-
     FUNC_NOMATCH if not or CURL_FNMATCHFUNC_FAIL if an error occurred.

DEFAULT
     NULL == an internal function for wildcard matching.

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE
     extern int string_match(const char *s1, const char *s2);

     struct local_stuff {
       void *custom;
     };
     static int my_fnmatch(void *clientp,
			   const char *pattern, const char *string)
     {
       struct local_stuff *data = clientp;
       printf("my pointer: %p\n", data->custom);
       if(string_match(pattern, string))
	 return CURL_FNMATCHFUNC_MATCH;
       else
	 return CURL_FNMATCHFUNC_NOMATCH;
     }

     int main(void)
     {
       struct local_stuff local_data;
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://ftp.example.com/file*");
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH, 1L);
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION, my_fnmatch);
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA, &local_data);
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }
