-/** Reads a data item from a device that has previously been written by writeDataToDevice().
- * If not enough data bytes are available, the function returns false and the QVariant reference
- * remains untouched.
+/** Check if a scope rule matches a string
+ *
+ * When isRegEx is false:
+ * Checks that the string does NOT match ANY inverted rules (prefixed by '!'), then checks that
+ * it matches AT LEAST one normal (non-inverted) rule.
+ *
+ * If only inverted rules are specified, it'll match so long as the string does not match any
+ * inverted rules (implicit wildcard).
+ *
+ * When isRegEx is true:
+ * Checks that the string matches the entire scopeRule as a regular expression. If scopeRule starts
+ * with a '!', check that the string does NOT match the regular expression.
+ *
+ * @param string String to test, e.g. network/channel name
+ * @param scopeRule ';'-separated list of wildcard expressions, prefix of '!' inverts subrule
+ * @param isRegEx If true, treat entire scope rule as regular expression, not wildcards
+ * @param isCaseSensitive If true, treat as case-sensitive, else case-insensitive
+ * @return True if matches, otherwise false
