character for a user's home directory. For example, @file{/:/tmp/~hack}
refers to a file whose name is @file{~hack} in directory @file{/tmp}.
Likewise, quoting with @samp{/:} is one way to enter in the minibuffer
a file name that contains @samp{$}. However, the @samp{/:} must be at
the beginning of the minibuffer in order to quote @samp{$}. (For
another way of quoting @samp{$} in file names see @ref{File Names with
@samp{$}}.)
Quoting with @samp{/:} is also a way to enter in the minibuffer a
file name that contains @samp{$}. In order for this to work, the
@samp{/:} must be at the beginning of the minibuffer contents. (You
can also double each @samp{$}; see @ref{File Names with @samp{$}}.)
You can also quote wildcard characters with @samp{/:}, for visiting.
For example, @file{/:/tmp/foo*bar} visits the file @file{/tmp/foo*bar}.
However, in most cases you can simply type the wildcard characters for
themselves. For example, if the only file name in @file{/tmp} that
starts with @samp{foo} and ends with @samp{bar} is @file{foo*bar}, then
specifying @file{/tmp/foo*bar} will visit just @file{/tmp/foo*bar}.
Another way is to specify @file{/tmp/foo[*]bar}.
For example, @file{/:/tmp/foo*bar} visits the file
@file{/tmp/foo*bar}.
Another method of getting the same result is to enter
@file{/tmp/foo[*]bar}, which is a wildcard specification that matches
only @file{/tmp/foo*bar}. However, in many cases there is no need to
quote the wildcard characters because even unquoted they give the
right result. For example, if the only file name in @file{/tmp} that
starts with @samp{foo} and ends with @samp{bar} is @file{foo*bar},
then specifying @file{/tmp/foo*bar} will visit only
@file{/tmp/foo*bar}.
