The Society For a Smaller Pathname.d (TSFSP.D)

[Marco B. <em...@be...>]

On July 16, 2002 TSFSP.D issued the following statement:

The following functions are curently defiened in pathname.d, it is our
opinion that should be moved some place else, the only relation they
have to pathnames is that they take them as args. the advantage to
this would be twofold: 1) pathname.d would be smaller and therefore it
would be easier to manipulate its contents 2) these functions would be
easier to find. TSFSP.D understands that egrep 'LISPFUNN?\(foo' *.d is
very usefull but does not feel that egrep should be the answer to
"where is foo defined?".

user_homedir_pathname    -> enviroment.d
probe_file               -> file-system.d
probe_directory          -> file-system.d
delete_file              -> file-system.d
rename_file              -> file-system.d
open                     -> stream.d
directory                -> file-system.d
cd                       -> enviroment.d
make_dir                 -> file-system.d
delete_dir               -> file-system.d
ensure_directories_exist -> file-system.d
file_write_date          -> file-system.d
file_author              -> file-system.d
execute                  -> enviroment.d
shell                    -> enviroment.d

savemem                  -> ???
dynload_modules          -> ???
program_name             -> enviroment.d
lib_directory            -> ???
set_lib_directory        -> ???
user_data_               -> posixuser.d
file_stat_               -> posixfile.d
dup                      -> posixfile.d

with the proper approval TSFSP.D will take it upon itself to make
these modifications.
