I just went through all the man pages and docs on yum and couldn't see what 
this syntax meant. To get python3, I do
"yum install python3" ... what does the \* get me?
the backslash escapes the * for the shell
if not all filenames starting with python3 would be
interpreted as parameter what you surely do not want


Reindl:

Thanks. From a shell point-of-view, this makes sense, but I am still not certain what it buys me over just "yum install python3".
