noun Etymology: perhaps blend of globe and blob 1. a small drop; blob 2. a usually large and rounded mass • globby adjective
/glob/ A mechanism that returns a list of pathnames that match a pattern containing wild card characters. Globbing was available in early versions of Unix and, in more limited form, in Microsoft Windows. The characters are: * = zero or more characters, e.g. "probab*" would match probabilistic, probabilistically, probabilities, probability, probable, probably. ? = any single character, e.g. "b?g" would match bag, big, bog, bug. [] any of the enclosed characters, e.g. "b[ao]g" would match bag, bog (not on Windows). Glob patterns are similar, but not identical, to regular expressions. "glob" was a subprogram that expanded wild cards in archaic pre-Bourne versions of the Unix shell. It is also a bulit-in function in Perl.
