It should be a cons cell (FUNCTION . ALIST), where FUNCTION is a function or a list of functions. Each function should accept two arguments: a buffer to display and an alist similar to ALIST. See `display-buffer' for details. Again, ALIST is not described, and neither is the alist that is the second arg to FUNCTION. And neither is FUNCTION (what it is for, what it does with its args, etc.) And no, just punting to "See `display-buffer' for details" does not help. None of this is described in its doc. The `display-buffer' doc sting just punts, itself, saying that it "combines" a bunch of stuff, including `display-buffer-base-action'.
