Incremental Re-arraying #2

Nikodemus Siivola recently updated two of his projects [via Markus Fix]:

Linedit 0.15.12 is a readline-like library in Lisp that uses UFFI on unix platforms to provide the following features:

• single-line text reader
• multi-line form reader
• completions on packages and symbols in current image
• completions on directories and filenames
• apropos-word and describe-word
• unlimited undo
• unlimited kill-ring
• unlimited history
• paren matching (not across lines)
• multiple histories
• use in REPL on SBCL
• paging

Linedit works in Linux, FreeBSD and Darwin.

Osicat, at version 0.4.0, is “a lightweight operating system interface for Common Lisp on Unix-platforms.” It offers functionality related to

• directory iteration and deletion
• environment variables
• symbolic and hard links
• file permissions
• file-kind identification
• current directory
• user information
• pathname utilities

An example of using osicat:

CL-USER(5): (with-directory-iterator (next "/var")
                 (loop for entry = (next)
                       while entry
                       when (member :group-write (file-permissions entry))
                       collect entry))

(#P"local/" #P"lock/" #P"tmp/" #P"mail/")
