Actually, it is not tar that is handling this but your shell. Even the
simplest linux shells handle wildcard expansion, so if you type
$ ls *.txt
the shell expands *.txt to be all the .txt files in that directory, so it would
actually send more arguments to the ls program, so ls would think it was called
with
ls readme.txt install.txt linux.txt
(obviously assuming those are the files in your directory)
