Nope, it's not there. SUS refers to this capability indirectly, via the
XCU specs for file expansion. AFAIK, the name of the GLOB_PERIOD flag is
probably unique to the GNU implementation -- other implementations may
call this flag/functionality something else. The fact that it's optional
is pretty much a death sentence for it in the z/OS UNIX implementation:
it's not their common practice to implement more than the minimum function
required to pass the Open Group's UNIX branding suite.

Did you find GLOB_PERIOD in the spec? I wasn't able to find it in the
SUSV2 spec. If you did, could you send me the URL?
Thanks much,
