Function: current-directory

current-directory returns a string containing the absolute file name representing the current working directory. If this string cannot be obtained, #f is returned.

If current-directory cannot be supported by the platform, then #f is returned.

Function: make-directory name

Creates a sub-directory name of the current-directory. If successful, make-directory returns #t; otherwise #f.

proc must be a procedure taking one argument. ‘Directory-For-Each’ applies proc to the (string) name of each file in directory. The dynamic order in which proc is applied to the filenames is unspecified. The value returned by ‘directory-for-each’ is unspecified.

Function: directory-for-each proc directory pred

Applies proc only to those filenames for which the procedure pred returns a non-false value.

Function: directory-for-each proc directory match

Applies proc only to those filenames for which (filename:match?? match) would return a non-false value (see Filenames in SLIB).

The dynamic order in which proc is applied to the filenames is unspecified. The value returned by ‘directory*-for-each’ is unspecified.
