20.1 File System Concepts</H2> <P>
This section describes the Common Lisp interface to file systems. The model used by this interface assumes that <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#file"><I>files</I></A> are named by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#filename"><I>filenames</I></A>, that a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#filename"><I>filename</I></A> can be represented by a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#pathname"><I>pathname</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A>, and that given a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#pathname"><I>pathname</I></A> a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>stream</I></A> can be constructed that connects to a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#file"><I>file</I></A> whose <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#filename"><I>filename</I></A> it represents. <P>
For information about opening and closing <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#file"><I>files</I></A>, and manipulating their contents, see <A REL=CHILD HREF="21_.htm">Section 21 (Streams)</A>. <P>
The next figure lists some <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#operator"><I>operators</I></A> that are applicable to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#file"><I>files</I></A> and directories. <P>
