a path separator.

? Matches any single character, except "/" or the . in "/.".
[ … ] Matches exactly one of a set of characters, except "/" or the . in "/.".
[^… ]
When ^ is the first character, matches exactly one character not in the set.
[!… ]
When ! is the first character, matches exactly one character not in the set.
[x-x]

Globbing Extensions: Wildcards and Special Characters
no / or * at end of pattern Matches files only.
/ at end of pattern Matches directories only. With -N, no files under matched directories or their
subdirectories are included in the transfer. All subdirectories are still included,
although their files will not be included. However, with -E, excluding a directory also
excludes all files and subdirectories under it.
* or /** at end of pattern Matches both directories and files.
/** Like * but also matches "/" and the . in "/.".
/ at start of pattern Must match the entire string from the root of the transfer set. (Note: The leading /
does not refer to the system root or the docroot.)
