Arguments

 

candidate-string

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String that is compared to the pattern string. The candidate-
   string argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the
   candidate string.
 

pattern-string

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String containing wildcard characters. The pattern-string
   argument is the address of a descriptor pointing to the pattern
   string. The wildcards in the pattern string are translated when
   STR$MATCH_WILD searches the candidate string to determine if it
   matches the pattern string.
