21:11:43 shawnw Does ccl have anything like sbcl's sb-posix package?

21:57:17 robertm2 shawnw: I'm not familiar with sb-posix, but I think you may want to read these parts of the CCL manual (which are, conveniently, contiguous): Characters and External Formats, File System Interface, Operating System Interface, Programming with Sockets, Programming with Threads, The Foreign Function Interface, Running Other Programs as Subprocesses, Streams, Platform-specific notes.

23:21:29 shawnw None of that fits. sb-posix has lisp wrappers for a bunch of posix syscalls.

23:26:43 reb shawnw: The uiop package has some things and osicat is available in Quicklisp.

23:27:29 reb ... there are more, which you can find by Googling "common lisp posix interface"

23:40:33 shawnw That would be a no, then?

23:42:13 shawnw (The annoying thing about just doing it myself via ffi is that posix doesn't define the sizes of a lot of the typedefs it adds. Makes it hard to be actually portable)

0:05:44 shawnw Though once I dig into the source, osicat seems to provide a lot of what I'm looking for in its osicat-posix package. Hmm.

0:17:19 robertm2 "lisp wrappers for a bunch of posix syscalls" sounds like this, which is the first example under "The Foreign Function Interface":
