This library allows you to specify paths with wildcard symbol '?' in it. It is originally designed for the bumblebee project with directories containing version name.
You can specify a path like:
/usr/lib/nvidia-???/
or
/???/???/nidia-???/
which is (maybe) resolved to:
/usr/lib/nvidia-375/
The first match counts.
This is a c program. You have to provide a char array to store the result string. The function returns NULL, if no match is found.
#include "findpathwild.h"
#include "stdio.h"
int main(void)
{
char resultPath[MAX_STR_LEN] = "";
char wildPath[] = "/???/???/nvidia-???/";
//char wildPath[] = "/not/existing/";
if(NULL != findPathWild(resultPath, wildPath)) {
printf("found = %s\n", resultPath);
} else {
printf("not found\n");
}
return 0;
}It can also handle lists of paths. Try te example below:
int main(void)
{
char resultPathList[MAX_STR_LEN] = "";
//char wildPathList[] = "/???/???/nvidia-???/:/???/???32/nvidia-???/";
//char wildPathList[] = "/not/existing/:/also/not/existing/"; // produces empty list (=string)
char wildPathList[] = "/???/???/nvidia-??/:/???/???/nvidia-???/:/???/???/nvidia-????/:/???/???32/nvidia-??/:/???/???32/nvidia-???/:/???/???32/nvidia-????/"; // idea: multiple alternatives
if(NULL != findPathListWild(resultPathList, wildPathList)) {
printf("found = %s\n", resultPathList);
} else {
printf("not found\n");
}
return 0;
