C-h f -> "dired-mark-files-regex"
dired-mark-files-regexp is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`dired'. (dired-mark-files-regexp REGEXP &optional MARKER-CHAR)
Mark all files matching REGEXP for use in later commands. A prefix
argument means to unmark them instead. `.' and `..' are never
marked.
REGEXP is an Emacs regexp, not a shell wildcard. Thus, use `\.o$'
for object files--just `.o' will mark more than you might think.
Emacs knows.
