+### partial
+
+Compare a partial path to a pattern.  As long as the parts of the path that
+are present are not contradicted by the pattern, it will be treated as a
+match.  This is useful in applications where you're walking through a
+folder structure, and don't yet have the full path, but want to ensure that
+you do not walk down paths that can never be a match.
+
+For example,
+
+```js
+minimatch('/a/b', '/a/*/c/d', { partial: true })  // true, might be /a/b/c/d
+minimatch('/a/b', '/**/d', { partial: true })     // true, might be /a/b/.../d
+minimatch('/x/y/z', '/a/**/z', { partial: true }) // false, because x !== a
+```
+
+### allowWindowsEscape
+
+Windows path separator `\` is by default converted to `/`, which
+prohibits the usage of `\` as a escape character. This flag skips that
+behavior and allows using the escape character.
