File names in Emacs are represented as strings. The functions that operate on a file all expect a file name argument. </p> <p>In addition to operating on files themselves, Emacs Lisp programs often need to operate on file names; i.e., to take them apart and to use part of a name to construct related file names. This section describes how to manipulate file names. </p> <p>The functions in this section do not actually access files, so they can operate on file names that do not refer to an existing file or directory. </p> <p>On MS-DOS and MS-Windows, these functions (like the function that actually operate on files) accept MS-DOS or MS-Windows file-name syntax, where backslashes separate the components, as well as POSIX syntax; but they always return POSIX syntax. This enables Lisp programs to specify file names in POSIX syntax and work properly on all systems without change.<a id="DOCF18" href="#FOOT18"><sup>18</sup></a> </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="file-name-components" accesskey="1">File Name Components</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">The directory part of a file name, and the rest. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="relative-file-names" accesskey="2">Relative File Names</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Some file names are relative to a current directory. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="directory-names" accesskey="3">Directory Names</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">A directory’s name as a directory is different from its name as a file. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="file-name-expansion" accesskey="4">File Name Expansion</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Converting relative file names to absolute ones. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="unique-file-names" accesskey="5">Unique File Names</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Generating names for temporary files. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="file-name-completion" accesskey="6">File Name Completion</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Finding the completions for a given file name. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="standard-file-names" accesskey="7">Standard File Names</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">If your package uses a fixed file name, how to handle various operating systems simply. </td> +</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/File-Names.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/File-Names.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
