+Class
+    Foam::DirLister
+
+Description
+    A class for listing directory contents, or obtaining a list of
+    directory contents.
+
+    For many situations, the iterator-based access is the most convenient
+    since it allows use of a range-for without any intermediate variables
+    or allocations.
+
+    List all directories or files:
+    \code
+    for (const word& item : DirLister("."))
+    {
+        Info<< "dir or file: " << item << nl;
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    List files or directories only:
+    \code
+    for (const word& item : DirLister(".").files())
+    {
+        Info<< "file: " << item << nl;
+    }
+    for (const word& item : DirLister(".").dirs())
+    {
+        Info<< "dir: " << item << nl;
+    }
+    \endcode
+    These can be combined with a unary predicate to select only specific
+    items:
+    \code
+    {
+        wordReList matchProcs
+        {
+            wordRe("processors"),
+            wordRe("processor\\d+", wordRe::REGEX)
+        };
+
+        for
+        (
+            const word& item
+          : DirLister::dirs(".").where(wordRes(matchProcs))
+        )
+        {
+           Info<< "processor dir: " << item << nl;
+        }
+    }
+    \endcode
+    The unary predicate can similarly be used with the list or sorted
+    methods:
+    \code
+    {
+        wordReList matchProcs
+        {
+            wordRe("processor[0-9][0-9]*", wordRe::REGEX),
+            wordRe("processors")
+        };
+
+        fileNameList procDirs
+        (
+            DirLister::dirs(".").sorted<fileName>(wordRes(matchProcs))
+        );
+    }
+    \endcode
