A File [Glob] is a way to match files. "*" matches any charactor. "?" matches any charactor exactly once. "[[a-z]" matches any charactor in the range a-z. Some examples: *.* matches all files that contain a "." in them. a* matches all files that begin with a [[a-z]* matches all files that begin with a lowercase letter ~*.gz matches all files that end with .gz Note, * and ? __don't__ match / or a . at the beginning of a filename eg: * doesn't match: . .. .foo baz/nargle but does match: foo.txt baz/ See glob(7) for more advanced uses.
