The structure dir-streams defines procedures to represent and process
directories as streams of files and sub-directories.
The structure DIR-STREAMS defines procedures to represent and process
directories as streams of files and sub-directories. Using a lazy data
structure to represent directories allows the library to minimize
access to the file system. Files within streams are represented by the
data type FS-OBJECT which essentially extends scsh's FILE-INFO type by
a field for the file name.
In addition the structure STREAM provides a library for stream
processing but we intend to replace this library with SRFI-40
soon. This is also the reason for the lack of documentation for the
STREAM package.
(dir-stream-from-dir-name dir-name [chase?] [parent]) -> dir-stream
Constructor for dir-streams.
Constructor for dir-streams. The CHASE? option indicates whether
symbolic links should be followed or not and defaults to #t. PARENT is
the directory relative to which DIR-NAME should be interpreted. It
defaults to "" and is only mildly useful.
