++ Most command shells such as bash or cmd.exe support "file
++ globbing", the ability to identify a group of files by using
++ wildcards.

++ Wildcard matching provides four features:
++ </p>
++
++ <ul>
++ <li>Any character represents itself apart from those
++ mentioned below. Thus 'c' matches the character 'c'.
++ </li>
++ <li>The '?' character matches any single character.</li>
++ <li>The '*' matches zero or more of any characters.</li>
++ <li>Sets of characters can be represented in square brackets.
++ Within the character class, like outside, backslash
++ has no special meaning.
++ </li>
++ </ul>
++
++ <p>
++ For example we could identify HTML files with
++ <code>*.html</code>. This will match zero or more characters
++ followed by a dot followed by 'h', 't', 'm' and 'l'.
