9.1 Lisp Pathnames

There are many aspects of ANSI Common Lisp's pathname support which are implementation-defined and so need documentation.

9.1.1 The SYS Logical Pathname Host

The logical pathname host named by "SYS" exists in SBCL. Its logical-pathname-translations may be set by the site or the user applicable to point to the locations of the system's sources; in particular, the core system's source files match the logical pathname "SYS:SRC;**;*.*.*", and the contributed modules' source files match "SYS:CONTRIB;**;*.*.*".
