This is equivalent to
print: $(wildcard *.c)
@echo "example"
`*.c' will expand to a list of all files ending in `.c' in $(CURDIR).

Both expansions will take place. Since `*' only matches existing files,
this rule is useful only for updating files, not creating them. If no
files ending in `.c' currently exist, `*.c' will expand to an empty
string.
