            Bug ID: 275936
           Summary: /usr/include/glob.h is missing the GLOB_ONLYDIR
                    extension
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org

/usr/include/glob.h is an implementation of the "glob" interface and it doesn't
contain GLOB_ONLYDIR.

The Linux man page https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/glob.3.html says that
GLOB_ONLYDIR is an extension of the POSIX interface.
The FreeBSD man page glob(3) also lists some non-standard extensions to IEEE
Std 1003.2 (“POSIX.2”), but GLOB_ONLYDIR isn't listed.

The latest version of the rpm project (Linux-based package archive) uses
GLOB_ONLYDIR here:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/rpmio/rpmglob.c#L88

Please add GLOB_ONLYDIR - at least the latest version of the rpm project can't
be ported w/out GLOB_ONLYDIR.
