-If there is output, it goes to a separate buffer.

-Normally the command is run on each file individually.
-However, if there is a `*' in the command then it is run
-just once with the entire file list substituted there.
+If there is no `*', but there is a `?' in COMMAND, surrounded by

+file name substituted for `?'.
-If there is no `*', but a `?' in the command then it is still run
-on each file individually but with the filename substituted there
-instead of at the end of the command.
+Otherwise, this runs COMMAND on each file individually with the
+file name added at the end of COMMAND (separated by a space).
-No automatic redisplay of dired buffers is attempted, as there's no

-\\[dired-do-redisplay] to redisplay the marked files.
+`*' and `?' when not surrounded by whitespace have no special
+significance for `dired-do-shell-command', and are passed through
+normally to the shell, but you must confirm first. To pass `*' by
+itself to the shell as a wildcard, type `*\"\"'.
-The shell command has the top level directory as working directory, so
-output files usually are created there instead of in a subdir.
+If COMMAND produces output, it goes to a separate buffer.
+
+This feature does not try to redisplay Dired buffers afterward, as
+there's no telling what files COMMAND may have changed.
