The pattern can be specified as part of the +\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP option, using an fnmatch-like pattern (Shell Pattern +Matching) in the last part of URL (file name). + +By default, libcurl uses its internal wildcard matching implementation. You +can provide your own matching function by the +\fICURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION(3)\fP option. + +A brief introduction of its syntax follows: +.RS +.IP "* - ASTERISK" +\&ftp://example.com/some/path/\fB*.txt\fP (for all txt's from the root +directory) +.RE +.RS +.IP "? - QUESTION MARK" +Question mark matches any (exactly one) character. + +\&ftp://example.com/some/path/\fBphoto?.jpeg\fP +.RE +.RS +.IP "[ - BRACKET EXPRESSION" +The left bracket opens a bracket expression. The question mark and asterisk have +no special meaning in a bracket expression. Each bracket expression ends by the +right bracket and matches exactly one character. Some examples follow: + +\fB[a-zA-Z0\-9]\fP or \fB[f\-gF\-G]\fP \- character interval + +\fB[abc]\fP - character enumeration + +\fB[^abc]\fP or \fB[!abc]\fP - negation + +\fB[[:\fP\fIname\fP\fB:]]\fP class expression. Supported classes are +\fBalnum\fP,\fBlower\fP, \fBspace\fP, \fBalpha\fP, \fBdigit\fP, \fBprint\fP, +\fBupper\fP, \fBblank\fP, \fBgraph\fP, \fBxdigit\fP. + +\fB[][-!^]\fP - special case \- matches only '\-', ']', '[', '!' or '^'. These +characters have no special purpose. + +\fB[\\[\\]\\\\]\fP - escape syntax. Matches '[', ']' or '\\'. + +Using the rules above, a file name pattern can be constructed: + +\&ftp://example.com/some/path/\fB[a-z[:upper:]\\\\].jpeg\fP +.RE +.PP +.SH PROTOCOLS +This feature is only supported for FTP download. +.SH EXAMPLE +See http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ftp-wildcard.html +.SH AVAILABILITY +Added in 7.21.0 +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION "(3), " CURLOPT_URL "(3), " -- cgit v1.2.3
