The problem is the phrase “suitable for shell pipelines”. If you are in a shell, you should not be doing anything like this. You should use a glob directly in the shell. You should not be calling an external program, having that program print out something, and then parsing it. Just use a glob right there in your shell script. If you do anything else, you are doing it wrong. Do I really have to say this again?
