+ <p>If <c><anno>Filename</anno></c> is not a symbolic link, this function
+ returns exactly the same result as <c>read_file_info/1</c>.
+ On platforms that do not support symbolic links, this function

+ OTP-11850 fixed filelib:wildcard/1 to work with broken
+ symlinks. This correction, however, introduced problems
+ since symlinks were no longer followed for functions like
+ filelib:ensure_dir/1, filelib:is_dir/1,
+ filelib:file_size/1, etc. This is now corrected.</p>
