Actually, no. It is the *shell* that expands the wildcard on a unix-system. If you want to pass a wildcard to a program, you have to explicitly make it clear to the shell *not* to expand it by making a string. In old DOS, it is the program itself that does the globbing (I think thats what they call it there).
