Actually, no. It is the *shell* that expands the wildcard on a
unix-system. If you want to pass a wildcard to a program, you have to
explicitly make it clear to the shell *not* to expand it by making a
string. In old DOS, it is the program itself that does the globbing (I
think thats what they call it there).
