yum provides methods
What is the difference between these yum provides and whatprovides methods? I know provides and whatprovides give the same results, but different methods of */ and \* give different results. Also whether you put */ and \* in front of the string or behind the string give different results. I have tried this so far.

Code:
sudo yum provides libcrypto.so.4
sudo yum provides */libcrypto.so.4
yum provides */libcrypto.so.4
yum provides /usr/include/security/pam_appl.h
yum provides \*bin/named-checkzone
yum provides \*bin/named-checkzone
sudo yum provides \*bin/named-checkzone
yum whatprovides */lsb_release
yum whatprovides */g++
yum whatprovides */ff
sudo yum provides firefox
sudo yum provides firefox\*
sudo yum provides gecko-libs\*
yum whatprovides */lsb_release

yum-debug-restore

yum-debug-restore(1)													      yum-debug-restore(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-restore - replay Yum transactions captured in a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-restore

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-restore  is  a  program which takes a gzipped file created by yum-debug-dump and acts on the information about installed packages
       contained within.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       --output
	      Output the commands that would be run to stdout.

       --shell=<file>
	      Output the commands that would be run to a file.

       --install-latest
	      Ask yum to install the latest version of the given packages, instead of the version that was installed in the debug-dump file.

       --ignore-arch
	      Ignore the architecture of the packages, so you can "restore" an i386 debug-dump on an x86_64 machine.

       --filter-types=[install,remove,update,downgrade]
	      Only perform the given types of commands, so you can filter to just upgrades and installs.

FILES

       As yum-debug-restore uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-dump (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
