std-dos-filename


Synopsis

(std-dos-filename <fname>)

Description

std-dos-filename returns the system specific DOS 8.3 filename representation. If the system supports long filenames and the filename satisfies std-longfnamep then the result is different than the argument. The result is always uppercase.

I'm still considering if this function is really needed?

Example

(std-dos-filename "d:/acad/test.lsp")  => "D:/ACAD/TEST.LSP"
(std-dos-filename "d:/acad/testprogram.lsp")  => "D:/ACAD/TESTPR~1.LSP"

Arguments

fname: a string. A partial or fully qualified filename specifier.

Return Value

A string.

Side Effects

None.

Module

(std-require 'STDFILE)
