The predicate function to call on all files contained in given file set.
A file is included in the resulting file set if this function returns true for it.
This function is called with an attribute set containing these attributes:
- `name` (String): The name of the file
- `type` (String, one of `"regular"`, `"symlink"` or `"unknown"`): The type of the file.
This matches result of calling [`builtins.readFileType`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html#builtins-readFileType) on the file's path.
Other attributes may be added in the future.
