Those patterns are not specific to the shell, many commands support them.

Annoyingly glob(7) doesn’t exist on FreeBSD (or macOS), and the
syntax seems to only be documented in the “Shell Patterns” section
of sh(1).

Actually I am applying this, I just remembered it. I think the lack
of glob(7) should be considered a documentation bug in FreeBSD,
honestly, even Linux has one!
