I was going through targeting minions in salt. There I came across a term called glob
. Can someone explain with an example what is a glob
in Salt-Stack?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming) explains how this originated in UNIX. It shows up in lots of places now since UNIX was so influential.– chicksCommented Aug 14, 2018 at 18:09

Globbing is a term used for matching file name patterns with wild cards. You can see a more detailed definition here https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/globbing
As it relates to Salt Stack, it's finding the minion id using wild cards. Additional details here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/targeting/globbing.html
