| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
This variable determines what is the customary case when the
:case
keyword argument to various pathname
functions (listed next) is specified :common
. The
Common Lisp pathname functions that accept a :case
keyword argument are make-pathname, pathname-host, pathname-device, pathname-directory, pathname-name, and
pathname-type. (In earlier
releases, the :case
keyword argument to those
functions was simply ignored.)
The initial value of this variable is :lower
on all
platforms, even Windows. The other allowable value is
:upper
.
We do not recommend using the :case
keyword
argument to any of the named pathname functions. If you do not specify
a value for the :case keyword argument in the
listed functions, Allegro CL behavior is unchanged from previous
versions.
