+
+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
+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.
