 element-expression

    Specifies one or more elements. An element expression can be an
    element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list
    of these separated by commas. If you specify a group name, CMS
    annotates each element in the group. If you use wildcards, CMS
    produces one annotated listing file for each matching element. By
    default, the most recent generation of an element on the main line
    of descent is annotated.
