This section describes the Common Lisp interface to file systems. The model used by this interface assumes that files are named by filenames , that a filename can be represented by a pathname object, and that given a pathname a stream can be constructed that connects to a file whose filename it represents.
For information about opening and closing files, and manipulating their contents, see section Streams.
Figure 20--1 lists some operators that are applicable to files and directories.
