This dir have permission 0700, only root can read in this dir. 
Also, in /tmp I'm create at root a new dir /tmp/www with 0700 
perm. But my program has exit when exception on 
/tmp/systed-private... and can't write any messages when can't 
read /tmp/www.

So, how I can skip any exceptions and continue program?

[code]
void main() {
import std.stdio, std.file;

try {
auto farray = dirEntries("/tmp", "*.{d,py,ph,sh}", 
SpanMode.breadth);
foreach (f; farray) {
writeln(f);
}
catch (FileException e) {
writeln(e.msg);
}
}
[/code]

This not work, after writeln(e.msg); program is exit.

The exception for dirEntries was reported as a bug here[1]; there is a 
workaround listed on that page that silently skips directories it can't 
read, but you'll need to modify it a bit to maintain a breadth search.

As to why your code stops after catching the exception, the try/catch 
block does not place you back in the block that threw the exception, but 
drops you off in the outer scope. You would need to place the code in some 
sort of loop to run until all input was consumed in order continue past 
the exception.
