| FNM_NOESCAPE |
| | Normally, every occurrence of a backslash (‘\’) followed by a character in pattern is replaced by that character. This is done to negate any special meaning for the character. If the FNM_NOESCAPE flag is set, a backslash character is treated as an ordinary character. |
| FNM_PATHNAME |
| | Slash characters in string must be explicitly matched by slashes in pattern. If this flag is not set, then slashes are treated as regular characters. |
| FNM_PERIOD | Leading periods in string must be explicitly matched by periods in pattern. If this flag is not set, then leading periods are treated as regular characters. The definition of "leading" is related to the specification of FNM_PATHNAME. A period is always "leading" if it is the first character in string. Additionally, if FNM_PATHNAME is set, a period is leading if it immediately follows a slash. |
| FNM_LEADING_DIR |
| | Ignore "/*" rest after successful pattern matching. |
| FNM_CASEFOLD |
| | Ignore case distinctions in both the pattern and the string. |
