Hi, Info node "(guile) File System" describes a procedure for getting the preferred file name separator of the operating system:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-- Scheme Variable: file-name-separator-string
The preferred file name separator.
Note that on MinGW builds for Windows, both ‘/’ and ‘\’ are valid
separators. Thus, programs should not assume that
‘file-name-separator-string’ is the _only_ file name
separator—e.g., when extracting the components of a file name.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Is there an equivalent procedure for getting the preferred environment
variable path separator, too? I would expect such a procedure to return
the ":" string (or does it return a character?) on most GNU/Linux
distributions, since that is the separator e.g. for the PATH environment
variable.
While we're on the topic, Guile's manual has a lot of very nice,
detailed information about each module. However, it does not seem to
tell me what the name of the modules are. Where can I find out what the
name of any module described in the manual - e.g. the module which is
described in the Info node "(guile) POSIX"?
