My program expects input from the commandline in the form

when you now specify wildcards on the commandline, they will be
expanded by bash, so the output will be like this:

However from inside my program I cannot distinguish between the
followin 2 scenarios:
1: x is the last item in the list expanded by bash or
2: the commandline actually was "scopy * x"
Scenario 1 is a syntax error, and it should not be treated as if it
were scenario 2.

Obviously this is a common scenario on Linux, so how to treat it?
Just live with it... Normal "cp" works like that as well.
E.g.:
> echo "Hello World 1" > test1
> echo "Hello World 2" > test2
> cp test*
> cat test*
Hello World 1
Hello World 2
