    List the functions for all modules. Optionally, specify a module or modules
    from which to list.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' sys.list_functions
        salt '*' sys.list_functions sys
        salt '*' sys.list_functions sys user

    Function names can be specified as globs.
