/**
 * Description
 * The g_pattern_match* functions match a string
 * against a pattern containing '*' and '?' wildcards with similar
 * semantics as the standard glob() function: '*' matches an arbitrary,
 * possibly empty, string, '?' matches an arbitrary character.
 * Note that in contrast to glob(), the '/' character
 * can be matched by the wildcards, there are no
 * '[...]' character ranges and '*' and '?' can
 * not be escaped to include them literally in a
 * pattern.
 * When multiple strings must be matched against the same pattern, it
 * is better to compile the pattern to a GPatternSpec using
 * g_pattern_spec_new() and use g_pattern_match_string() instead of
 * g_pattern_match_simple(). This avoids the overhead of repeated
 * pattern compilation.
