Thanks, re: the apropos results I did already look at the section 3 
pages. They're quite unlike what I need. tcsh(1) is similarly lacking.

What I'd like is, something like the first two tables under 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax>.

If nothing like that can be used with man (at the command line), then I 
guess, the answer is:

lynx 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax'

– and then always accept cookies, twice. And then always accept cookies, 
twice, on my next visit, and so on.
