NAME                                                   GLOB(VIII)
     glob - generate command arguments

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/glob command [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
     Glob is used to expand arguments containing ``*'',	``['', or
     ``?'',  in	 the  same  fashion  as	 the Shell does.  Glob 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.

     If	the command name is a simple name containing no	`/', glob
     expects argument 0	to be a	sequence of directories	separated
     by	`:', i.e., a string of the same	form as	 the  Shell's  $p
     variable.	 It  uses  this	 argument  to  perform	directory
     searching in the same way as the shell.

SEE ALSO
     sh(I), pexec(III)

DIAGNOSTICS
     ``No match'' if none of the arguments produces a  successful
     filename match.
     ``Arg list	too long'' if too many (more than  5120)  charac-
     ters of arguments are generated.
     Other messages are	listed in pexec(III).
