<a href="r6rs-lib-Z-H-1.html#node_toc_node_chap_9">File system</a></h1>
<p></p>
<p>
This chapter describes the <tt>(rnrs files (6))</tt><a name="node_idx_836"></a>library for
operations on the file system. This library, in addition to the
procedures described here, also exports the I/O condition types
described in section&nbsp;<a href="r6rs-lib-Z-H-9.html#node_sec_8.1">8.1</a>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p></p>
<div align=left><tt>(<a name="node_idx_838"></a>file-exists?<i> filename</i>)</tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;procedure&nbsp;</div>
<p>
<i>Filename</i> must be a file name (see
section&nbsp;<a href="r6rs-lib-Z-H-9.html#node_sec_8.2.1">8.2.1</a>). The <tt>file-exists?</tt> procedure
returns <tt>#t</tt> if the named file exists at the time the procedure
is called, <tt>#f</tt> otherwise.
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
</p>
<p></p>
<div align=left><tt>(<a name="node_idx_840"></a>delete-file<i> filename</i>)</tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;procedure&nbsp;</div>
<p>
<i>Filename</i> must be a file name (see
section&nbsp;<a href="r6rs-lib-Z-H-9.html#node_sec_8.2.1">8.2.1</a>). The <tt>delete-file</tt> procedure
deletes the named file if it exists and can be deleted, and returns
unspecified values. If the file does not exist or cannot be deleted,
an exception with condition type <tt>&amp;i/o-filename</tt> is raised.
