GLOB(VII)                    9/19/73                    GLOB(VII)







NAME

     glob - generate command arguments



SYNOPSIS

     /etc/glob command [ arguments ]



DESCRIPTION

     Glob is used to expand arguments  to  the  shell  containing

     ``*'',  ``['',  or  ``?''.   It  is passed the argument list

     containing the metacharacters; glob  expands  the  list  and

     calls  the  indicated  command.   The  actions  of  glob are

     detailed in the Shell writeup.



SEE

     sh(I)



BUGS

     Glob gives the ``No match'' diagnostic only if no  arguments

     at  all  result.   This  is  never  the case if there is any

     argument without a metacharacter.
