Matches the given stringToMatch against the glob. Matching is path aware:

  • slashes are normalized
  • arguments representing relative paths are normalized against the glob's root. For example, the glob **/*.cs does not match ../a.cs, since ../a.cs points outside of the glob root.

Returns false if stringToMatch contains invalid path or file characters.
