I don't want to use `SpanMode.depth` or `SpanMode.breadth`
because it will scan so deeply and there would be a permission
problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Are you familiar with libprocps ?
Maybe you had better make use of this library, or, at least, peek
into its code, for reference.

That is strange. But then again, every glob library I've seen works a little bit differently. I see. Maybe I'm using Linux and Ruby too much. Missing character range doesn't really hurt, but the feature should be documented. Should we improve the documentation? To be fair, the syntax specification is clear after I read it twice, but the link to Wiki page is confusing, because Wiki page mentions the popular (FIXME) implementation with character range.

The problem with matching "[0123456789]*" is that it will match
files like "1blah" and "8stuff". It looks like glob patterns are
not robust enough to handle match patterns you want. A regex
would probably be enough. Something like this works:
string[] getProcNumbers() {
import std.file : dirEntries, SpanMode;
import std.path : baseName;
import std.regex : regex, match;
import std.algorithm : map, filter;
import std.array : array;
auto r = regex(`^/proc/[0-9]*$`);
string[] entries =
dirEntries("/proc/", SpanMode.shallow)
.map!(n => n.name)
.filter!(n => match(n, r))
.array();
return entries;
}
int main() {
import std.stdio : stdout;
foreach (entry ; getProcNumbers()) {
stdout.writefln("%s", entry);
}
return 0;
}
