glob /glob/, _not_ /glohb/ v.,n. unix; common to expand special
   characters in a wildcarded name, or the act of so doing the action is
   also called `globbing'. the unix conventions for filename wildcarding
   have become sufficiently pervasive that many hackers use some of them in
   written english, especially in email or news on technical topics. those
   commonly encountered include the following:

 
       wildcard for any string see also unx
  
 ?
       wildcard for any single character generally read this way
       only at the beginning or in the middle of a word
  
 
       delimits a wildcard matching any of the enclosed characters
  
 {}
       alternation of comma-separated alternatives; thus,
       `foobaz,qux' would be read as `foobaz' or `fooqux'
  
   some examples: "he said his name was kcarl" 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.

   historical note: the jargon usage derives from `glob', the name of a
   subprogram that expanded wildcards in archaic pre-bourne versions of the
   unix shell.

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. unx
     
         ? = any single character
     
          any of the enclosed characters
     
         {} indicate alternation of comma-separated alternatives, thus
         foobaz,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
        kcarl" 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.
