For TeXLive we need /usr/bin/env anyway.

When I try texdoc -l vntex I get what I expect, but texdoc -s vntex does
not work properly.  The path to the doc tree appears twice and the
slash in front of doc/... is missing.

You could use io.popen() in order to read from a pipe.  But do you
want to give up platform independence?

Assuming that in texmf trees which do not use an ls-R database the doc
tree will either be empty or very small, you could probably better
search the directory tree using some lua code.

This is what I found among the lfs files:
_____________________________________________________
function attrdir (path)
    for file in lfs.dir(path) do
        if file ~= "." and file ~= ".." then
            local f = path..'/'..file
            print ("\t "..f)
            local attr = lfs.attributes (f)
            assert (type(attr) == "table")
            if attr.mode == "directory" then
                attrdir (f)
            else
                for name, value in pairs(attr) do
                    print (name, value)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

attrdir (".")
_____________________________________________________

This is probably a starting point.
