From eshell/esh-util:

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

There is no way to do that. How about if you write a suitable doc string for this function? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
