The doc string says:
... "The way the default for the target directory is computed depends on
the value of `dired-dwim-target-directory'."
There is no variable with that name. And a function does not have a
"value".
Anyway, let's assume you mean the value returned by the function
`dired-dwim-target-directory'. So we look that up, using `C-h f'. What
do we see? Nothing. No doc string.
This kind of help is no help at all. This is a no-no. You cannot send
someone looking for help where there is no help to be found.
