 10 Pattern Matching
 *******************
 
 The GNU C Library provides pattern matching facilities for two kinds of
 patterns: regular expressions and file-name wildcards.  The library also
 provides a facility for expanding variable and command references and
 parsing text into words in the way the shell does.

* Wildcard Matching    Matching a wildcard pattern against a single string.
* Globbing             Finding the files that match a wildcard pattern.
* Regular Expressions  Matching regular expressions against strings.
* Word Expansion       Expanding shell variables, nested commands,
 			    arithmetic, and wildcards.
 			    This is what the shell does with shell commands.
