Wildcard Examples Wildcards can be used in the commands of a rule, where they are expanded by the shell. Wildcards are also useful in the dependencies of a rule. Wildcard expansion does not happen when you define a variable. However, if you use the value of objects in a target, dependency or command, wildcard expansion will take place at that time. See section The Function wildcard .
