CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION(3)

CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION - wildcard match callback

#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);

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_FNMATCHFUNC_NOMATCH if not or CURL_FNMATCHFUNC_FAIL if an error occurred.

NULL == an internal function for wildcard matching.

This functionality affects ftp only

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) {
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);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
} }

Added in curl 7.21.0

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).

CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3), CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA(3), CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3)
