2.3 Name

Here are ways to search for files whose name matches a certain pattern. See Shell Pattern Matching, for a description of the pattern arguments to these tests.

Each of these tests has a case-sensitive version and a case-insensitive version, whose name begins with ‘i’. In a case-insensitive comparison, the patterns ‘fo*’ and ‘F??’ match the file names Foo, ‘FOO’, ‘foo’, ‘fOo’, etc.
