func MatchPattern ¶

func MatchPattern(pattern string) func(name string) bool

MatchPattern(pattern)(name) reports whether name matches pattern. Pattern is a limited glob pattern in which '...' means 'any string' and there is no other special syntax. Unfortunately, there are two special cases. Quoting "go help packages":

First, /... at the end of the pattern can match an empty string, so that net/... matches both net and packages in its subdirectories, like net/http. Second, any slash-separated pattern element containing a wildcard never participates in a match of the "vendor" element in the path of a vendored package, so that ./... does not match packages in subdirectories of ./vendor or ./mycode/vendor, but ./vendor/... and ./mycode/vendor/... do. Note, however, that a directory named vendor that itself contains code is not a vendored package: cmd/vendor would be a command named vendor, and the pattern cmd/... matches it.
