SSIA (aside) I've wanted to have the abilty to attach popt alias/exec to argv[0] from poptrc configuration using fnmatch(3) for years. Only legacy forward compatibility has stopped me ... For portability to the fnmatch(3) deprived, I'll work up a strncmp match to handle a trailing "*" splat without needing fnmatch(3). That should cover the common usage case. todo++ 73 de JeffReceived on Mon May 12 18:48:41 2008
