When a file name is matched with a wildcard, the wildcard characters
will not match a @samp{/} character (used to separate directory names on
Unix). A pattern consisting of a single @samp{*} character is an
exception; it will always match any file name, whether it contains a
@samp{/} or not. In a section name, the wildcard characters will match
a @samp{/} character.
File name wildcard patterns only match files which are explicitly
specified on the command line or in an @code{INPUT} command. The linker
does not search directories to expand wildcards.
