Teachpack : Directories

# Directories

### dir.ss

The teachpack `dir.ss` provides two-structures and one operation:

- `(define-struct dir (names dirs files))`
- `(define-struct file (name size content))`
- `create-dir`which consumes a directory path (a string) and produces a directory. For data definitions, see section 15.

  The teachpack relies on two data definitions:

  ``
- A directory is `(make-dir string[path] (listof directory) (listof file))`
- A file is `(make-fil string[file name])` Sample: Set teachpack to `dir.ss` and execute. Then evaluate

      > (create-dir ".")
      (make-dir
        '|.|
        empty
        (cons (make-fil 'ball1.gif 1289 empty)
              (cons (make-fil 'blueball.gif 205 empty)
                    (cons (make-fil 'greenbal.gif 204 empty)
                          (cons (make-fil 'redball.gif 203 empty)
                                (cons (make-fil 'ufo.gif 1044 empty)
                                      (cons (make-fil 'gif-test.ss 5811 empty)
                                            empty)))))))

  Note: Softlinks are always treated as if they were empty files.
