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.
