From aace05097a0fd467230e39acb148be0fdaa90068 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Du, Changbin" Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:54:12 -0800 Subject: lib/parser.c: add match_wildcard() function match_wildcard function is a simple implementation of wildcard matching algorithm. It only supports two usual wildcardes: '*' - matches zero or more characters '?' - matches one character This algorithm is safe since it is non-recursive.
