bash/globbing
from HTYP, the free directory anyone can edit if they can prove to me that they're not a spambot
< bash
The following notes may apply to other shell environments besides bash, but have only been tested with bash.
Commands invoked via bash always, by default, have each of their arguments parsed via the glob system facility before being passed to the command.
Globbing can be turned off on a per-session basis:
set -o noglob- turns off globbing
- put it in
~/.bashrcto make it the default
set +o noglob- turns globbing back on
help set- returns more information about bash's
setcommand (the "set" manpage is for something else)
- returns more information about bash's
