truffle-ts API reference - v0.4.2
    Preparing search index...

    Function looksLikePattern

    • Does this query look like an instance-type pattern (glob or regex) rather than a natural-language phrase? True when it contains a glob wildcard (*/?) or a regex metacharacter (see looksLikeRegex).

      DELIBERATE DIVERGENCE from the Go tool: Go also routes a bare single word matching ^[a-z]+\d (e.g. "a100", "c6i", "m7i.large") to the pattern path. That collides with GPU model names — Go's find a100 searches instance-type names for ^a100$ and finds nothing, since no instance is literally named "a100". truffle-ts instead sends bare words through the natural-language parser, which resolves "a100" → the A100 instance types and "graviton" → its families. To force a name pattern, use an explicit glob: a100*, m7i*, c6i.*. (This is why parse still guards the no-constraint case, so a stray unknown bare word can't fall through to a match-everything ".*".)
