Inhloli Yephasiwedi ye-Asterisk uhlelo lokusebenza olubhekele ukuveza wonke lawo ma-asterisk akhonjisiwe lapho uvakashela amaphasiwedi womsebenzisi ohlukile kuzinhlelo zokusebenza, izinsizakalo nezinkundla ezithile ezidinga iphasiwedi ukufinyelela amaphrofayli ahambisanayo.
Ngokusebenza okulula, kumane nje kuyindaba yokuvula uhlelo lokusebenza ngokuhudula inkinobho yokusesha ibheke kwelinye lamabhokisi wephasiwedi okuthi uma ufuna ukubhala ngemfihlo lolo hlelo ukhombise ngokuzenzakalela iphasiwedi eveza iwindi eliyinhloko lohlelo uhlamvu ngalunye ifakwe njengengxenye yephasiwedi.
Yize kwabaningi ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinhlelo kungaba yinkemba esika nhlangothi zombili, kukhona elinye iqembu labasebenzisi elidinga lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza, ikakhulukazi kulezo zimo lapho benza khona iphutha lapho befaka amaphasiwedi ngaphandle kokwazi ngempela ukuthi babhaleni.
