Question Documentation for double asterisk glob expansion
Where can I find documentation on double asterisk in glob expansion? 1. It is discussed in the .gitignore section of Pro Git. 2. It works in `ls /` to list all terminal files. 3. It is supported by python's glob library. Despite this, I cannot find mention of it in the glob man pages.
