Simplifying unix interface
Describe the feature
The unix interface in "unix.lisp" is really complicated and depends a lot on carefully defined structures that are system-dependent. It would simplify things a lot if we had a simple C interface that called the unix function and returned various slots directly. Then we can rip out a lot of the complexity in "unix.lisp" and make the file much shorter and much simpler that works for all OSes.
Is there a prototype?
You can find a prototype in !85 (merged) where we take care of stat
and friends
