<P>
The patterns here are <span class="Unix">Unix</span>-style ``glob'' patterns: <code>*</code> matches any
sequence of regular filename characters, <code>?</code> matches any single
regular filename character, and <code>[<var>range</var>]</code> matches any of the
characters in <var>range</var> (e.g., <code>a-z</code>, <code>a-zA-Z</code>,
<code>a-f0-9_.</code>).  The definition of ``regular filename character'' is
platform-specific: on <span class="Unix">Unix</span> it is anything except slash; on Windows
anything except backslash or colon; on Mac OS 9 anything except colon.
