I was searching for the file ".foo" in my filesystem and found the
following curious behavior:
ls -a *foo* lists nothing (a surprise to me!)
ls -a .*foo* lists .foo, as expected.
I would think that the -a option should cause ls to list the hidden
file, even though I'm not actually specifying the dot. I noticed that ls
on HP-UX has the same behavior, but it certainly seems non-intuitive.
Sincerely,
