        Define a window rule for any window which matches the criteria defined
        by the attributes *identifier*, *title*, or *type*. If more than one
        is defined, AND logic is used, so all have to match.
-       Matching against patterns with '\*' (wildcard) and '?' (joker) is
-       supported. Pattern matching is case-insensitive.
+       Matching is case-insensitive and is performed using shell wildcard
+       patterns (see glob(7)) so '\*' (not between brackets) matches any string
+       and '?' matches any single character.
 
        *identifier* relates to app_id for native Wayland windows and WM_CLASS
        for XWayland clients.
