HOST & DISK EXPRESSION All host and disk arguments to programs are special expression. The command apply to all disk that match your arguments. This section describe the matcher.
The matcher match by word, each word is a glob expression, word are separated by the separator '.' for host and '/' for disk. You can anchor the expression at left with a '^'. You can anchor the expression at right with a '$'. The matcher is case insensitive for host but is case sen- sitive for disk. A match succeed if all word in your expression match contiguous word in the host or disk.
