glob

glob wordlist

Do filename, variable, and history substitutions on wordlist . This expands it much like echo , except that no \ escapes are recognized, and words are delimited by null characters. glob is typically used in shell scripts to "hardcode" a value so that it remains the same for the rest of the script.
