DESCRIPTION
       This utility procedure determines whether a string matches
       a given pattern.	 If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns
       1.   Otherwise  Tcl_StringMatch	returns 0.  The algorithm
       used for matching  is  the  same	 algorithm  used  in  the
       ``string	 match''  Tcl command and is similar to the algo-
       rithm used by the C-shell for file name matching;  see the
       Tcl manual entry for details.

KEYWORDS
