From eshell/esh-util:

>        (directory-files dir full match nosort)))))

I don't think the call to `documentation' is getting the intended effect...

It looks like he wanted to copy the doc string of directory-files.
There is no way to do that.

How about if you write a suitable doc string for this function?

I've copied instead the one for `directory-files-and-attributes' from
Emacs 21, because the code is writing a back-compatible replacement for
that precise function.

I've also changed the name of the DIR argument to DIRECTORY so the
docstring can be identical in both versions.

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u
