The argument to @samp{--accept} option is a list of file suffixes or
patterns that Wget will download during recursive retrieval. A suffix
is the ending part of a file, and consists of ``normal'' letters,
Of course, any number of suffixes and patterns can be combined into a
comma-separated list, and given as an argument to @samp{-A}.
