I can't be bothered to consult the man page, but it will be something like:

Because I like to add little bits of efficiency where
necessary, I'll note that the `ls *.bmp` above is more
complicated than what you need. What you mean is
"for f in *.bmp".
Also, ImageMagick is nice, in that it does a lot of
conversions automatically just by extension. So
convert -resize 200x200 filename.{bmp,jpg}
, which combines a bashism with ImageMagick, will expand at
the shell into
convert -resize 200x200 filename.bmp filename.jpg
and ImageMagick will then automatically convert the file
from BMP to JPEG.
Just as a note, that syntax is obsolete and may break in the future.
It's related to a bunch of changes in imagemagick 6 that were intended
to make it more consistent. Command line options are now processed left
to right as a series of steps (though grouping is supported).
See http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/basics/#why for
more information.
