## @deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} fnmatch (@var{pattern}, @var{string})
##
## @code{fnmatch} is deprecated and will be removed in Octave version 4.6.
## Please use @code{glob} or @code{regexp} in all new code.
##
## Return true or false for each element of @var{string} that matches any of
## the elements of the string array @var{pattern}, using the rules of
## filename pattern matching.  For example:
## 
## @example
## @group
## fnmatch (\"a*b\", @{\"ab\"; \"axyzb\"; \"xyzab\"@})
##      @result{} [ 1; 1; 0 ]
## @end group
## @end example
## @seealso{glob, regexp}
## @end deftypefn

## Deprecated in version 4.2
