Description:

The wordexp() function performs shell-style word expansion.

Note: Because of security concerns, the versions of wordexp() and wordfree() in libc are stubs that do nothing. We recommend that you not use these functions.

Returns:

WRDE_NOSYS to indicate that wordexp() isn't supported. The function always returns WRDE_NOSYS and sets the errno to ENOSYS every time it is called.
