Wikipedia
In computer programming, in particular in a Unix-like environment, glob patterns specify sets of filenames with wildcard characters. For example, the Unix command mv *.txt textfiles/ moves (mv) all files with names ending in .txt from the current directory to the directory textfiles. Here, * is a wildcard standing for "any string of characters" and *.txt is a glob pattern. The other common wildcard is the question mark (?), which stands for one character.
Glob may refer to:
- glob (programming), an instance of pattern matching behavior
- Glob (TV series), an Italian comedy series
- The Glob, a 1983 arcade game
- Glob (comics), multiple fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe
- Luna-Glob, a Moon-exploration program by the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos)

Glob is the name of different fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Glob is an Italian television comedy produced by Enrico Bertolino which addresses the language of communication used by the mass media and other such topics. The show offers numerous observations on the poor communication of television journalists.
Globs are millimeter-sized color modules found beyond the visual area V2 in the brain's color processing ventral (also known as parvocellular) pathway. They are scattered throughout the posterior inferior temporal cortex in an area called the V4 complex. They are clustered by color preference, and organized as color columns. They are the first part of the brain in which color is processed in terms of the full range of hues found in color space.
The term "glob" was proposed by Bevil R. Conway and Doris Y. Tsao on an analogy with the cytochrome-oxidase blobs of V1, an earlier stage in the hierarchical elaboration of color. This also distinguishes them from other types of modules found elsewhere in the cerebral cortex such as face patches, and inferior temporal feature columns.
