 Read entries from the directory.  Each entry is identified by an index number
 starting at 0 and running through the file.  This call fetches `nentries` (or
 any convenient number if `nentries` is -1) entries starting at `entry`,
-returning an array of struct directs in `data`.  The number of entries
+returning a series of struct dirent in `data`.
+Note that due to the variable-size `d_name` field, `d_reclen` has to be used to
+jump from one struct dirent to the other.
+The number of entries
 successfully read is returned in `amount`.  If `entry` is bigger than the index
 of the last entry, then 0 is returned in `amount`.  If `bufsize` is nonzero,
 never return more than `bufsize` bytes of data regardless.
