Just a directory named /progs (/proc, /dev, /mnt). Man page sez:
o if the pattern starts with a / then it is matched
against the start of the filename, otherwise it is
matched against the end of the filename. Thus
"/foo" would match a file called "foo" at the base
of the tree. On the other hand, "foo" would match
any file called "foo" anywhere in the tree [...]
o if the pattern ends with a / then it will only
match a directory, not a file, link or device.
HTH!
