Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Advanced Features Administrator"s Guide (5900-1503, April 2011)

Either an exact file name or a pattern using a single wildcard character
(*). The first "*" character is treated as a wildcard, while any subsequent
"*" characters are treated as literal text. The pattern cannot contain
"/".
The following list contains examples of patterns:
■ abc* – Matches all files whose names begin with “abc".
■ abc.* – Matches all files whose names are exactly "abc" followed
by a period and any extension.
■ *abc – Matches all files whose names end in “abc", even if the name
is all or part of an extension.
■ *.abc – Matches files of any name whose name extension (following
the period) is “abc".
■ ab*c – Matches all files whose names start with “ab" and end with
“c".
The wildcard character matches any character, including ".", "?", and
"[", unlike using the wildcard in a shell.
The Flags="pattern_flag_value" XML attribute is optional, and
if specified can only have a value of recursive. Specify
Flags="recursive" only if the pattern is a directory. If Flags is
not specified, the default attribute value is nonrecursive. If
Flags="recursive" is specified, the enclosing selection criteria
selects all files in any component directory that is anywhere below
the directory specified by <DIRECTORY> if the component directory
matches the pattern and either of the following is true:
■ <DIRECTORY> is specified and has the recursive flag.
■ <DIRECTORY> is not specified and the directory is anywhere in
the file system.
If the pattern contains the wildcard character (*), wildcard character
matching is performed.
The <PATTERN> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once. Only one value can be specified per <PATTERN> element.
<PATTERN>
User name of the file's owner. The user number cannot be specified
in place of the name.
The <USER> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once.
<USER>
Group name of the file's owner. The group number cannot be specified
in place of the group name.
The <GROUP> criterion is optional, and may be specified more than
once.
