These search-lists are initialized from the Unix environment or when Lisp was
built:
- default:
- The current directory at startup.
- home:
- The user's home directory.
- library:
- The CMU Common Lisp `'lib/ directory (CMUCLLIB environment
variable.)
- path:
- The Unix command path (PATH environment variable.)
- target:
- The root of the tree where CMU Common Lisp was compiled.
It can be useful to redefine these search-lists, for example, `'library:
can be augmented to allow logical pathname translations to be located, and
`'target: can be redefined to point to where CMU Common Lisp system sources are
locally installed.
