On which Lisp does that solve the problem?
CLISP on Windows:

AllegroCL on Linux:
CL-USER(1): (pathname-name (truename "/tmp")) "tmp"
(Yes, these are both directories.)
I fear we're in unknown territory and need to resort to something like CL-FAD for a real solution... :(
Darn. On SBCL on Mac OS (and presumably linux, etc...) I get:
CL-USER> (pathname-name (truename "/tmp")) NIL
Just for the record: SBCL 1.0.14.10 on x86-64 linux: CL-USER> (pathname-name (truename "/tmp")) NIL CLISP 2.41 on x86-64 linux: [1]> (truename "/tmp") *** - TRUENAME: "/tmp" names a directory, not a file The following restarts are available: ABORT :R1 ABORT Break 1 [2]> [16]> (truename "/tmp/") #P"/tmp/" [18]> (pathname-name (truename "/tmp/")) NIL
