+[NAME]
+du \- estimate file space usage
+[DESCRIPTION]
+.\" Add any additional description here
+[PATTERNS]
+PATTERN is a shell pattern (not a regular expression). The pattern
+.B ?\&
+matches any one character, whereas
+.B *
+matches any string (composed of zero, one or multiple characters). For
+example,
+.B *.o
+will match any files whose names end in
+.BR .o .
+Therefore, the command
+.IP
+.B du \-\-exclude=\(aq*.o\(aq
+.PP
+will skip all files and subdirectories ending in
+.B .o
+(including the file
+.B .o
+itself).
