Info page says
"     #include <fnmatch.h>
     
     int fnmatch(const char *pattern, const char *string, int flags);

Description
-----------

This function indicates if STRING matches the PATTERN. ..."

So DJGPP says that "\" doesn't match "\\" while Linux says it does.

Well, I say DJGPP is right as the pattern says there should be two
backslashes and you only provide one.


Right,
