EXAMPLES
--------
- - The pattern `hello.*` matches any file or folder
+ - The pattern `hello.*` matches any file or directory
whose name begins with `hello.`. If one wants to restrict
this only to the directory and not in its subdirectories,
one can prepend the pattern with a slash, i.e. `/hello.*`;
