- This command performs file name ``globbing'' in a fashion
- similar to the csh shell. It returns a list of the files
- whose names match any of the _p_a_t_t_e_r_n arguments.
-
- If the initial arguments to gggglllloooobbbb start with ---- then they are |
- treated as switches. The following switches are currently |
- supported: |
-
- ----nnnnooooccccoooommmmppppllllaaaaiiiinnnn ||
- Allows an empty list to be returned without |
- error; without this switch an error is |
- returned if the result list would be empty. |
-
- -------- ||
- Marks the end of switches. The argument |
- following this one will be treated as a |
- _p_a_t_t_e_r_n even if it starts with a ----....
-
- The _p_a_t_t_e_r_n arguments may contain any of the following
- special characters:
-
- ???? Matches any single character.
-
- **** Matches any sequence of zero or more characters.
-
- [[[[_c_h_a_r_s]]]] Matches any single character in _c_h_a_r_s. If _c_h_a_r_s
- contains a sequence of the form _a----_b then any
- character between _a and _b (inclusive) will match.
-
- \\\\_x Matches the character _x.
-
- {{{{_a,,,,_b,,,,...} Matches any of the strings _a, _b, etc.
-
- As with csh, a ``.'' at the beginning of a file's name or
- just after a ``/'' must be matched explicitly or with a {}
- construct. In addition, all ``/'' characters must be
- matched explicitly.
-
- If the first character in a _p_a_t_t_e_r_n is ``~'' then it refers
- to the home directory for the user whose name follows the
- ``~''. If the ``~'' is followed immediately by ``/'' then

- the value of the HOME environment variable is used.
-
- The gggglllloooobbbb command differs from csh globbing in two ways.
- First, it does not sort its result list (use the llllssssoooorrrrtttt
- command if you want the list sorted). Second, gggglllloooobbbb only |
- returns the names of files that actually exist; in csh no |
- check for existence is made unless a pattern contains a ?, |
- *, or [] construct.
