ref/StringMatchQ says:

StringMatchQ allows both ordinary StringExpression string patterns,
as well as abbreviated string patterns containing the following
metacharacters:

*              zero or more characters
@              one or more characters, excluding uppercase letters
\\*, etc.      literal *, etc.
