Arguments: &optional use-cache drive
Return a pathname with the directory component holding the current
directory. Note that when processing pathnames (the filename passed,
for example, as an argument to load), the value of *default-pathname-defaults* is typically used
instead of the current directory as returned by this function. The
value of *default-pathname-defaults* may not be the same
as the value returned by this function. chdir modifies the current directory (what is
returned by this function) but does not modify *default-pathname-defaults*. In contrast,
:cd modifies both.
See :pwd and :dirs, which both print the current directory. See also os-interface.htm for general information on the interface between in Allegro CL and the operating system.
The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
