File Name Completion

[Function]
extensions: complete-file
pathname &key :defaults :ignore-types

Attempt to complete a file name to the longest unambiguous prefix. If supplied, directory from :defaults is used as the ``working directory'' when doing completion. :ignore-types is a list of strings of the pathname types (a.k.a. extensions) that should be disregarded as possible matches (binary file names, etc.)

[Function]
extensions: ambiguous-files
pathname &optional defaults

Return a list of pathnames for all the possible completions of pathname with respect to defaults.
