FWIW, in zsh's manual, "filename expansion" refers to ~user, ~1, ~-1, ~named-directory, =cmd while "filename generation" refers to globbing. In dash: Pathname Expansion (File Name Generation) In mksh: file name generation In ksh93: File Name Generation In yash: Pathname expansion (globbing) In tcsh: Filename substitution In fish: globbing -- Stephane
