mpiCompareWildcard method overview
The mpiCompareWildcard method compares a string (passed in pActual) with a wildcard pattern (pPattern) to determine whether it matches.
For example, if pPattern is A*123 and pActual is ABCD123, the return status will be MPI_CMP_EQUAL because pActual does match the pPattern string.
MPIRC mpiCompareWildcard (const char
*pPattern,int nPatternLen,const char
*pActual,int nActualLen)
Inputs
- pPattern
- Wildcard pattern
- nPatternLen
- Length of the pPattern string.
- pActual
- Actual data which might match the wildcard.
- nActualLen
- Length of the actual data.
Outputs
- pBuf
- A buffer to receive the wildcard value if one exists.
- pLen
- Size of the buffer on input and the length of the wildcard value on output.
Returns
- MPI_CMP_EQUAL
- Wildcard matches.
- MPI_CMP_LESS
- Wildcard does not match.
