 This looks for an entry labelled @code{coreutils}, or
address@hidden, etc., and if found, displays the referenced file at

+Assuming the normal @code{dir} entry for @code{ls}, this will show the
address@hidden documentation, which happens to be within the
address@hidden manual rather than a separate manual.  The @code{dir}
+entries can point to an any node within a manual, so that users don't
+have to be concerned with the exact structure used by different
