— Package: osicat

Osicat is a lightweight operating system interface for Common Lisp on Unix-platforms. It is not a POSIX-style api, but rather a simple lispy accompaniment to the standard ansi facilities.

Concepts:

Designated directory

When a relative pathname designator is used as a directory designator it is first resolved against *default-pathname-default*, and then against the current directory. (With merge-pathnames in both cases.)
