Glob
1. Glob is a term used to describe the expansion or the match of values returned when using wildcards, regular expressions, or other pattern matches. For example, typing the below command returns results similar to the results listed below.
dir *.htm
about.htm
file.htm
index.htm
last.htm
In the above example, the glob is the asterisks (*), which means match anything that ends with .htm. See the Regular expression and wildcard definitions for additional examples of what can be used.
2. Glob is a FTP command to turn on and off globbing. See the how to use ftp help page for information about glob and other FTP commands.
3. A small drop of a substance. For example, a glob of thermal compound would be a small drop about the size of a pencil eraser head.
