 * after expansion of ~ and $ expressions. If there were any wildcards,

 * is counted as an error and NULL is returned.
 *
 * The supported wildcards and their meanings are:

 *  ?        -  Match any single character.

 *  [^chars] -  The same as [chars] except that it matches any single
 *              character that doesn't appear in 'chars'.
 *
 * Wildcard expressions are applied to individual filename components.
 * They don't match across directory separators. A '.' character at
 * the beginning of a filename component must also be matched
 * explicitly by a '.' character in the input pathname, since these
 * are UNIX's hidden files.
