''How Does this Work? (Process of Globbing)''
 
 
<i>'''File globbing''' is a feature provided by the UNIX/Linux shell to represent multiple filenames by using special characters called wildcards with a single file name. A wildcard is essentially a symbol which may be used to substitute for one or more characters. Therefore, we can use wildcards for generating the appropriate combination of file names as per our requirement.</i><br>Reference: https://www.linuxnix.com/10-file-globbing-examples-linux-unix/
