Bug#68602: glibc-doc: GLOB_PERIOD incorrectly documented
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.1.3-10
Severity: normal
The info page "More Flags for Globbing" says that:
`GLOB_PERIOD'
The `.' character (period) is treated special. It cannot be
matched by wildcards. *Note Wildcard Matching::, `FNM_PERIOD'.
However, the implementation is actually the reverse of this, i.e.,
GLOB_PERIOD implies !FNM_PERIOD. This is logical as POSIX demands
that FNM_PERIOD be the default.
