In bash/zsh and many other shells '*/*.c' would be similar.

  I don't think so. In Bash you can do this: bash$ shopt -s globstar Then you can use double star syntax like this: bash$ wc **/*.c The **/ will match any number of directory components, including zero; I think it's like *.c */*.c */*/*.c and so on, like what OP wrote. Somewhat sadly, the Glibc glob function does not have an equivalent GLOB_ option for this; it's just in Bash.

    -bash: shopt: globstar: invalid shell option name

      Bash's NEWS file says that globstar was added between bash-3.2 and bash-4.0. In the git repo, there is a 2009-dated commit 3185942a5234e26ab13fa02f9c51d340cec514f8 where the material appears, as a snapshot import. Make sure you're using "shopt -s globstar" and not "shopt -o globstar".
