R help - Apr 2008 - find directories

Hello,
Function dir() is very useful for finding files.
However, is there a analog function for finding directories
based eg on a pattern ?
Apologies if I've missed something obvious.
Thanks
Vincent

list.dirs <- function(...)
{
     x <- dir(...)
     x[file_test("-d", x)]
}
