Directories

Directories are containers for files. Directories are named by filenames, which can be either strings or implementation-defined objects.

Procedures

(directory? filename)

Returns #t if filename is the name of a directory, or #f if it is not, or the answer is not determinable.

(make-directory ''filename'')`

Creates a directory named filename. An exception is signaled if this cannot be done.

(delete-directory ''filename'')`

Deletes a directory named filename. An exception is signaled if this cannot be done.

Reading directories
