Directory is not a file

You can use DIRECTORY or EXT:PROBE-PATHNAME to figure out whether a given namestring refers to a file or a directory.

CLISP provides separate directory functions, such as EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY, EXT:RENAME-DIRECTORY et al.

CLISP has traditionally taken the view that a directory is a separate object and not a special kind of file, so whenever the standard says that a function operates on files without specifically mentioning that it also works on directories, CLISP SIGNALS an ERROR when passed a directory.
