glob
     
        /glob/, *not* /glohb/ To expand {wild card} characters in a
        {path name}.
     
        In {Unix} the {file name} wild cards are:
     
         * = zero or more characters (E.g. {UN*X})
     
         ? = any single character
     
         [] any of the enclosed characters
     
         {} indicate alternation of comma-separated alternatives, thus
         foo{baz,qux} would expand to "foobaz" or "fooqux".  This
         syntax generates a list of all possible expansions, rather
         than matching one.
     
        These have become sufficiently pervasive that hackers use them
        in written English, especially in {electronic mail} or
        {Usenet} news on technical topics.  E.g. "He said his name was
        [KC]arl" (expresses ambiguity).  "I don't read
        talk.politics.*" (any of the talk.politics subgroups on
        {Usenet}).  Other examples are given under the entry for {X}.
        Note that glob patterns are similar, but not identical, to
        those used in {regexps}.
     
        "glob" was a subprogram that expanded wild cards in archaic
        pre-{Bourne} versions of the {Unix} {shell}.
