Hello

 In common lisp even in cmucl documentation aren't some elementary
 functions related to filesystem - create and remove directory,
 test for filetype (file or directory), ...

 Is there some library to do that ?


Thanks,
Jan

Creating a directory is handled by ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST.

Edi Weitz recently announced a library to do these things:

  ···@vmware:/tmp$ cmucl
  ; Loading #p"/home/edi/.cmucl-init".
  * (apropos "mkdir")

  UNIX:UNIX-MKDIR [function] (name mode)
  * (documentation #'unix:unix-mkdir t)

  "Unix-mkdir creates a new directory with the specified name and mode.
     (Same as those for unix-fchmod.)  It returns T upon success, otherwise
     NIL and an error number."
  * (apropos "rmdir")

  UNIX:UNIX-RMDIR [function] (name)
  * (documentation #'unix:unix-rmdir t)

  "Unix-rmdir attempts to remove the directory name.  NIL and
     an error number is returned if an error occured."

You might also want to look at

  <http://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/unix.html#toc233>

and

CL-FAD is an implementation of what Peter describes in his book.
CLOCC might also have some of the things you're looking for.

Cheers,
Edi.
