| ANSI Common Lisp 20 Files ### 20.1 File System Concepts 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 Chapter 21 Streams. The next figure lists some operators that are applicable to files and directories.
File and Directory Operations
compile-file | file-length | open
delete-file | file-position | probe-file
directory | file-write-date | rename-file
file-author | load | with-open-file
