man 2 dirread

:...
:The data returned by a read(2) on a directory is a set of complete directory
:entries in a machine-independent format, exactly equivalent to the result of
:a stat(2) on each file or subdirectory in the directory.

But it is not so. stat(2) on each file in the directory, when
there are multiple files with identical names, will return
data for the first entry only.

What am I missing?
