Controls whether directory returns truenames on Unix-like systems.
In line with the ANSI Common Lisp standard, directory returns truenames by default.
Setting
*directory-link-transparency*
to
nil
allows you to get the old behavior of directory, whereby soft links are not resolved in the pathnames returned.
*directory-link-transparency*
is the default value of the
link-transparency
argument to directory.
