From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
question mark "?", {ASCII} character 63. Common names: query; {ITU-T}: question mark; {ques}. Rare: whatmark; {INTERCAL}: what; wildchar; huh; hook; buttonhook; hunchback. Question mark is used, along with {colon} for {C}'s {lazy} triadic "if" {operator} (similar to the {IIF} function in {Visual Basic}). The expression x?y:z evaluates x, then if x is true it returns y else it returns z. In {Unix} {shell} file name patterns, question mark matches any single character. (2003-06-17)
