3.6. Specifying global expressions in DNF input

Procedure

• Use one of the following methods if you use global expressions in dnf commands:

  • Enclose the entire global expression in single or double quotation marks:

    # dnf provides "*/<file_name>"

    Note that you must precede <file_name> either by / for an absolute path or */ to use a wildcard if the full path is unknown.

  • Escape the wildcard characters by preceding them with a backslash (\) character:

    # dnf provides \*/<file_name>
