@ -23,8 +23,11 @@ according to the rules used by the Unix shell, although results are returned in
arbitrary order. No tilde expansion is done, but ``*``, ``?``, and character
ranges expressed with ``[]`` will be correctly matched. This is done by using
the :func:`os.scandir` and :func:`fnmatch.fnmatch` functions in concert, and
not by actually invoking a subshell. Note that unlike :func:`fnmatch.fnmatch`,
:mod:`glob` treats filenames beginning with a dot (``.``) as special cases.
not by actually invoking a subshell.
Note that files beginning with a dot (``.``) can only be matched by
patterns that also start with a dot,
unlike :func:`fnmatch.fnmatch` or :func:`pathlib.Path.glob`.
(For tilde and shell variable expansion, use :func:`os.path.expanduser` and
:func:`os.path.expandvars`.)
