Syntax
int comparehosts(hoststring, hostpattern)
Description
comparehosts checks whether a host string (either host name or IP string) matches a host definition, which could be a host name (such as, host1.a.b.com), IP address (such as, 10.10.10.1), netgroup (such as, @mygroup1), host pattern (such as, *.a.b.com) or IP address (such as, 10.10.10.*).
This function honors the value of short names defined in pm.settings when resolving host names.
Returns 1 if a match is found, 0 if no match is found.
Example
if (comparehosts(submithost,"*.a.b.com")) { ... }
