[erlang-questions] Trie NIFs

[Michael Truog]

I added a function fold_match/4 which can do what you require:
1> Paths = trie:new(["/usr/bin","/usr/include/X12/Xtrans","/usr/include/X11/Xtrans"]).
{47,47,
 {{{117,117,
    {{{115,115,
       {{{114,114,{{{47,47,{{{98,105,{{...},...}},error}}},error}}},
         error}}},
      error}}},
   error}}}
2> trie:fold_match("/usr/include/*/Xtrans", fun(K, _, L) -> [K | L] end, [], Paths).
["/usr/include/X12/Xtrans","/usr/include/X11/Xtrans"]
3>
