Hello Leif,

I want to confirm a couple of usage model for the wildcard character.

Maybe they have been explained with your response to Laszlo's comments,
but I just want to double-confirm with my using cases.

1. Matching multiple levels of directories

For the below 2 folders:
MdeModulePkg/Bus/Ufs/
MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/UfsPciHcDxe/

I can use:
MdeModulePkg/*Ufs*/

to match them all, right?


2. Matching header files (usually within the Include/ directory)

In some cases, a feature may include some drivers + some include header
files. So for the below case:
MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/HiiLib.h
MdeModulePkg/Include/Guid/HiiResourceSampleHii.h
MdeModulePkg/Universal/HiiDatabaseDxe/
MdeModulePkg/Universal/HiiResourcesSampleDxe/
MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiHiiLib/

Should I use:
MdeModulePkg/*Hii*/

to match the drivers(libraries) and the headers all or should I use:
MdeModulePkg/*Hii*/
MdeModulePkg/Include/*Hii*.h

instead?

Best Regards,
Hao Wu
