The difference is that in "real Unix" there are globbing APIs you can call to implement wildcards in your programs... AFIAK, OS/400 lacks those. (Though, they probably exist in PASE)

Just like in the real Unix, wildcards are supported by "the shell" (Bourne shell, Korn shell, C-shell, BASH, etc.) -- and not by the commands themselves. So, similarly, most of the underlying "APIs" do not directly support wildcards.
