wild-card-pattern
is a character string used to search for and display aliases with names that match the character
string. wild-card-pattern matches an uppercase string unless you enclose it within double
quotes. To look for similar values, specify only part of the characters of wild-card-pattern
combined with these wild-card characters.
Use a percent sign (%) to indicate zero or more characters of any type. For example, %art% matches
SMART, ARTIFICIAL, and PARTICULAR but not smart or Hearts. "%art%" matches smart and
Hearts but not SMART, ARTIFICIAL, or PARTICULAR.
%
Use an asterisk (*) to indicate zero or more characters of any type. For example, *art* matches
SMART, ARTIFICIAL, and PARTICULAR but not smart or Hearts. "*art*" matches smart and
Hearts but not SMART, ARTIFICIAL, or PARTICULAR.
*
Use an underscore (_) to indicate any single character. For example, boo_ matches BOOK and BOOT
but not BOO or BOOTS. "boo_" matches book and boot but not boo or boots.
_
Use a question mark (?) to indicate any single character. For example, boo? matches BOOK and BOOT
but not BOO or BOOTS. "boo?" matches book and boot but not boo or boots.
