-Note that `*` matches as a wildcard and can be used anywhere in a path.
+## Path matching
+----------------
+The path for a `/dev` or `/sys` entry can contain a `*` anywhere in the path.
+1. If the only `*` appears at the end of the string or if the _options_ parameter is set to
+`no_fnm_pathname`, ueventd matches the entry by `fnmatch(entry_path, incoming_path, 0)`
+2. Otherwise, ueventd matches the entry by `fnmatch(entry_path, incoming_path, FNM_PATHNAME)`
+
+See the [man page for fnmatch](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/fnmatch.3.html) for more
+details.
