the name of the drive on which the file is stored.

the path of subdirectories to the location of the file in the tree-

structure system.

the file name, including extension, if any.

In the standard notation of this manual, the full file specification may
be indicated as follows:

d:\path\filename.ext

Note that just as the names of subdirectories are separated by a
backslash (\) in the path specification, a backslash is also used
between the drive name and path and between the path and the file
name.

To simplify notation, the full file specification may simply be called

filespec

Wildcard characters can be used to reference groups of files without
typing the complete file name for each file. A wildcard is a substitute
for all or part of a file name or extension. Performing a task for a large
group of files can be simplified by the use of wildcards.

The two wildcard characters are the asterisk (*) and the question
mark(?). The asterisk represents an entire name or a group of
characters found within a name. The question mark represents a
single character.
