+----------------
+
+:meth:`PurePath.match`, :meth:`Path.glob` and :meth:`Path.rglob` accept
+patterns with shell-style wildcards.
+
+The "``**``" wildcard matches any number of file or directory segments. In
+other words, it enabled recursive globbing. If "``**``" occurs in any position
+other than a full pattern segment, :exc:`ValueError` is raised.
+
+The "``*``" wildcard matches precisely one file or directory segment when it
+occurs as a full pattern segment, or any number of non-separator characters
+when it occurs elsewhere.
+
+The "``?``" wildcard matches a single non-separator character. Character
+ranges such as "``[seq]``" and "``[!seq]``" match a single character within or
+without the range.
+
+If the pattern ends with a path separator, only directories are matched.
+
+For a literal match, wrap the meta-characters in brackets.
+For example, ``"[?]"`` matches the character ``"?"``.
