SYNOPSIS	/etc/glob

DESCRIPTION	glob____

"?".  It is passed the argument list
containing the metacharacters; glob____
expands the list and calls the command itself.
The actions of glob____ are detailed in
the Shell writeup.

DIAGNOSTICS	"No match", "No command", "No directory"

BUGS		If any of
'*', '[', or '?' occurs both quoted and unquoted in the
original command line,
even the quoted metacharacters are expanded.

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.
