Question how to enable globbing

command
set -f
disables globbing.
If we restart the computer , globbing automatically enables.

Could you please tell me any command to enable globbing after using command "set -f" .

It's all there in "man set"....

But, the man page says "pathname expansion"---is that the same as globbing in your context?
