The API documentation at http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/icinga2-api mentions the match() function several times, but never links to an explanation what it actually does, and what options it has, if any. I wasn't able to find any documentation either.

Things I'd like to know:

• What does it do?
• How does it behave with various object types as arguments (strings, hashes, lists, numbers, ...)
• Is there a way to get it to match case sensitively?
