\subsection expand-wildcard Wildcards
If a star (`*`) or a question mark (`?`) is present in the parameter, `fish` attempts to match the given parameter to any files in such a way that:
- `?` can match any single character except '/'.
If a star (`*`) is present in the parameter, `fish` attempts to match the given parameter to any files in such a way that:
- `*` can match any string of characters not containing '/'. This includes matching an empty string.

- `a*` matches any files beginning with an 'a' in the current directory.
- `???` matches any file in the current directory whose name is exactly three characters long.
- `**` matches any files and directories in the current directory and all of its subdirectories.
Note that for most commands, if any wildcard fails to expand, the command is not executed, <a href='#variables-status'>`$status`</a> is set to nonzero, and a warning is printed. This behavior is consistent with setting `shopt -s failglob` in bash. There are exactly 3 exceptions, namely <a href="commands.html#set">`set`</a>, <a href="commands.html#count">`count`</a> and <a href="commands.html#for">`for`</a>. Their globs are permitted to expand to zero arguments, as with `shopt -s nullglob` in bash.
