      I am facing a problem I am trying to filter my users and to
      establish a list of users whose UID is greater than 999.

      i used getusers but I feel like the function's uid filter
      doesn't apply.... i tried this solution : "allusers" slist
      => getusers("","0"); to have uid 0 but there is no result

      or "allusers" slist => getusers("","[1-9]{1,3}"); or have
      you got solution to extract all users whith UID greater than
      999???

I think the documentation isn't very clear about it. The list is a
string, specifically a comma separated string of uids to filter.

You can use `expandrange()' and `join()' to generate a comma separated
string of ids from 0 to 999 being used as a filter:

,----
| bundle agent __main__
| {
|   vars:
|     "users" slist => getusers( "", "");
|     "users_id_gt_999" slist => getusers( "", join( ",", expandrange( "[0-999]", 1 ) ) );
| }

| default:main.users                        {"root","bin","daemon","adm","lp","sync","shutdown","halt","mail","operator","games","ftp","nobody","systemd-network","dbus","polkitd","rpc","tss","rpcuser","nfsnobody","sshd","postfix","chrony","vagrant","cfapache","cfpostgres"} source=promise
| default:main.users_id_gt_999              {"nfsnobody","vagrant"}                                     source=promise
