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 ~/.bashrc to make it the default
  • set +o noglob
    turns globbing back on
  • help set
    returns more information about bash's set command (the "set" manpage is for something else)
