No results returned if the file is a socket

Environment

• OS Version: Linux - NixOS 23.11
• Node.js Version: v18.19.1

Actual behavior

❯ node
Welcome to Node.js v18.19.1.
Type ".help" for more information.
> const fastglob = await import("fast-glob");
undefined
> await fastglob.default("/run/user/1000/pipewire-0")
[]
❯ ls -l /run/user/1000/pipewire-0

Expected behavior

The socket file is returned in the result.

Hmm. By default, the package returns only files. Literally just files:

fast-glob/src/providers/filters/entry.ts

Lines 50 to 52 in da64807

	if (this.#onlyFileFilter(entry) || this.#onlyDirectoryFilter(entry)) {
	return false;
	}

Other solutions (glob, wcmatch) work differently. They include everything in the results, including sockets, with the option to exclude directories.

I think we should change the current behaviour and start returning everything but directories. However, this is a major change. So, target this issue to the next major release.

Right now you can disable the onlyFiles option.
