vfnmatch
Shell style filename patterns, such as *.ven, matched against names.
Released v1.0.0 · 2026-09-28use "stdlib/fnmatch.ven"Unix shell style filename pattern matching, such as matching every file ending in a given extension, built on Venutian's own text and pattern matching builtins. It follows the same matching rules as a shell's own glob patterns, so a pattern written for a shell prompt matches the same files when checked through this package instead.
