 Wildcard DNS record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No DNS server software implements wildcards as per RFC 1034.
The Internet Software Consortium produced a version of the BIND DNS software that can be configured by system administrators to filter out wildcard DNS from certain domains.
Attempting to access such a domain leads to a web page informing the user that the domain is not in use, and providing links for further information about.museum.

 Internet Architecture Board - IAB Documents
(Wildcard NS records, while theoretically possible, have sufficiently bizarre semantics that it is probably best to limit their use to torture-tests of DNS software.) So, at first blush, it would seem that the administrator of a zone is free to use wildcards without worrying about effects which this might have on the zone's delegated children.
Thus, if the wildcard name has records matching the desired query type, the system will return those records, precisely as in the "success" case above; otherwise, the system will return an indication that the name exists but no data matching the given query type is present, precisely as in the "no data" case above.
Note also that only the query name and query class matter for purposes of determining whether a wildcard matches: any record type can produce a wildcard match, regardless of whether or not the record type happens to match the query type.

 java.net: Explorations: Wildcards in the Generics Specification
Once you're familiar with the syntax, we'll move on to talking about the reasons wildcards were added to the specification.
If you understood these examples, you understand the syntax of wildcards.
Well, the major benefit (below) requires a bit of a deep dive into the type system.

 Providing Compatible Schema Evolution
Wildcard UPA done in "greedy" or first-match algorithm
A suggestion is XML Schema wildcards could use a "greedy" algorithm whereby the first possible occurance of a definition is matched.
The problems with this approach are summarized in Examining elements and wildcards as siblings.

 Using the Right Wildcard Characters in SQL Statements (Inside Microsoft Access 2001)
Even if you've mastered using wildcards in queries, you may be in for a shock if you switch to using ADO in your applications.
Making the necessary adjustments to change DAO wildcards to ADO wildcards may be a simple task, but if you're using ADO wildcards in your code you may prefer to also do so in the query design grid.
We'll start by using DAO wildcards in the query design grid and incorporating the related SQL statement in code.

 Using wildcards
This wildcard is ignored in a set of ([ ]) or in an alternative pattern ({ }).
You must enclose the entire string in back quotes and you cannot have any embedded spaces.

 Wildcards
wildcard will match a single character (or a NULL at the end of a filename)
The * wildcard will match any sequence of characters (including NULL characters) The ?
Wildcards will match both Short and Long filenames
http://www.ss64.com/ntsyntax/wildcards.html

  
 The Linux Terminal - a Beginners’ Bash
Below is a table of patterns, and an example of which filenames would match such a pattern, and others that would NOT match.
Wildcards will not match hidden files unless the wildcard pattern itself starts with a period.
There is a very significant difference between the way that Windows handles wildcards and how this is done in Linux or other Unixes.

 [alicebot-archcomm] Conditional wildcards
The problem raised is that typing the wildcards may produce several possible matches.
And conditional wildcards does produce ambiguity where there previously was none before.
They don't specifically define an exact match, but instead match similar to regular wildcards so that they let one or more "words" pass through to the template.

 Accepted wildcards used by server certificates for server authentication
In general, wildcard matching works on all Microsoft platforms with the exception of Windows 2000.
A variation on this certificate-matching scheme has been documented in RFC 2595 and draft RFC specs for other protocols.
The following are some examples of how wildcards should and should not be used for maximum interoperability:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258858

  
 Examining wildcards and compatible evolution
The options in the design exist because the fundamental problem with using wildcards outside of an Extension element for versioning, is that a schema cannot correctly validate extensions and retain compatibility.
The use of wildcards at the same level as element content precludes many of the common validation features authors need for loosely coupled systems.
The reason is the pesky unique particle attribution constraint, which means that an optional element in a given ns can't occur before a wildcard that might match that ns.

 Linux Magazine - December 2003 Power Tools Wildcards Gone Wild
You can create a wildcard pattern that matches all filenames composed of zero or more digits, but the syntax is different.
By default, if no wildcarded words match, the csh and tcsh shells won't run the command line at all; instead, they print a "No match" error.
Wildcards aren't the only way to get lists of files.
http://www.linux-mag.com/2003-12/power_01.html

  
 The powerful bash shell wildcards in Linux
Wildcards are special characters that allow you to select filenames that match certain patterns of characters.
You can use simple patterns or combine different wildcards and construct very complex patterns, and like I said before, you can use them with any commands that accept file names as arguments.
In the Linux CLI that task is just as simple to perform as moving only one HTML file, and it's so easy because of the shell wildcards.

 Linux Magazine - March 2004 Power Tools Wilder Wildcards
Standard wildcards simply match the names of files (including directories, symbolic links, etc., which are actually files in the Linux filesystem).
Even if you aren't interested in wildcards, you might want to read on.
(A directory file is full of gibberish.) A Z shell glob qualifier lets you write a wildcard expression that matches only files -- or executable files, or files owned by a certain user, or files accessed n days ago, and so on.

 Expanded DOS Wildcards - Malektips [EXPANDED DOS WILDCARDS WINDOWS 98 AND DOS]
With the DOS underneath Windows 98, you can use this wildcard to match all of the files which match the trailing characters as well.
This tip was printed from the website http://malektips.com, bringing you some of the best computer help and tips.
In DOS, the "*" wildcard normally displays files which match the leading characters before the * symbol.

 MUSHclient script function: GetTriggerWildcard
You can have up to 999 wildcards, plus wildcard 0 which represents the entire matching string.
You can use GetTriggerInfo selector 31 to find how many wildcards matched.
Enter a word or phrase in the box below to narrow the list down to those that match.

 Using Wildcards
You can position wildcard operators at the beginning, middle, or end of a query word, and you can combine them within a word (e.g., ?ffect*).
You can use the string wildcard -the asterisk-to represent a variable string of zero or more characters in a query.
Note: A query consisting of only the string wildcard operator will return a Hitlist comprising all records in a database; the records will have identical relevance ranking scores.

 using wildcards
The FREETEXT predicate is a primitive form of natural language query, for example you can use FREETEXT or FREETEXTTABLE with any text.
You do not need to worry about the query syntax because the MSSearch engine identifies important words and phrases and specifically ignores wildcard ("*" or asterisk), noise words, Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), and the proximity operator (NEAR) - then FREETEXT will return rows that contain any of the important words and phrases.
This makes FREETEXT* queries less precise than the CONTAINS query.

 The OS/2 Command Line Utilities
All of the utilities that deal with files support extended wildcards, which are a superset of the standard OS/2 wildcard syntax, similar to the wildcards that are available in most UNIX shells.
Supports recursing into subdirectories, so that entire directory trees can be synchronised, and the standard CLU features such as enhanced wildcards and the ability to include/exclude files by attribute.
It can also sort files from multiple subdirectories into one big list, allowing one to see all files in multiple subdirectories sorted together by size for example, and has no arbitrary limits on the number of files that it can process.

 Consequences of putting wildcards in .net and .com
Now, the wildcard IP address is presumably being sent a constant stream of DNS queries that, we hope, will never be answered.
Previously, a query for such a domain resulted in a "no such domain" error.

 GREP
Secondly, your PATH needs to be set so that GNU grep is used in preference to the standard version.
In particular, the expression ".*" matches any string, and hence acts as a "wildcard".
Read the repetion example carefully, and pay careful attention to the fact that the "*" in grep patterns denotes repetition.

 Apache Core Features
The URL may use wildcards In a wild-card string, `?' matches any single character, and `*' matches any sequences of characters.
Also as of Apache 1.3 none of the wildcards match a `/' character, which more closely mimics the behavior of Unix shells.
The NameVirtualHost directive is a required directive if you want to configure name-based virtual hosts.

 More on wildcards
NB: the Microsoft site and www.animals.com are used here purely as examples and should not be taken as a recommendation to block or allow access to either site.
For example, if you visit the Microsoft site at www.microsoft.com, a link might take you to search.microsoft.com or support.microsoft.com.
Therefore, you cannot block or allow any web address that includes the word microsoft by adding *microsoft* to your list.
