+    \enum QSslCertificate::PatternSyntax
+    \since 5.15
+
+    The syntax used to interpret the meaning of the pattern.
+
+    \value RegularExpression A rich Perl-like pattern matching syntax.
+
+    \value Wildcard This provides a simple pattern matching syntax
+    similar to that used by shells (command interpreters) for "file
+    globbing". See \l{QRegularExpression Wildcard matching}.
+
+    \value FixedString The pattern is a fixed string. This is
+    equivalent to using the RegularExpression pattern on a string in
+    which all metacharacters are escaped using escape(). This is the
+    default.
