The utilities in this package match filenames using Bourne shell style filename patterns, a superset of the DOS, Win32, and OS/2 ``wildcard'' filename matching characters.
A file specification consists of an optional drive, optional path information, and a filename. The filename may consist of Bourne shell style pattern-matching characters. DOS's filename pattern matching is simplistic, Win32's and OS/2's is a lot better, but Bourne shell pattern matching is better still. Also, all versions (DOS, Win32, and OS2) of the commands in this package support the same enhanced level of pattern-matching.
