    129 
    130 Returns a canonical path for {{NAME}}, which should be a string
    131 containing a path-or-filename.  The string returned by
    132 {{canonical-path}} is OS dependent; it may be quoted and used in
    133 a shell on the calling machine. (Quoting is suggested as shell
    134 special characters, including space, are not escaped.)  However,
    135 all path separators and prefixes are handled in an OS independent
    136 fashion.  Any appearance of {{/}} below imply {{\\}} is also handled.
    137 
    138 The prefix for {{NAME}} determines what path to prepend.  If {{NAME}}
    139 begins with a {{"~/"}}, this prefix is stripped and the user's
    140 home directory is added.  If beginning with {{/}} or a DRIVE-LETTER:\\
    141 combination, no additional path is added.  Otherwise, the current
    142 directory and separator are added.  All relative path elements and
    143 duplicate separators are processed and removed.  If {{NAME}} ends with
    144 a {{/}} or is empty, the appropriate slash is appended to the tail.

    242242More details are available in [[http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/eggs/readline.html|the egg's documentation]].
    243243
    244 === Accessing documentation
    245 
    246 You can access the manual directly from {{csi}} using the [[http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/eggs/man.html|man]] extension by Mario Domenech Goulart.
    247 
    248 To enable it install the egg and put this in your {{~/.csirc}} file:
    249 
    250  (use man)
    251  (man:load)
    252 
    253 Then, in {{csi}}, you can search for definitions using {{man:search}} as in:
    254 
    255  (man:search "case")
    256 
    257 Note that the search uses regular expressions.
    258 To view the documentation for one entry from the manual, use {{man:help}} as in:
    259 
    260  (man:help "case-lambda")
    261 
    262 Note: Currently the documentation provided by the {{man}} extension corresponds to Chicken's 2.429, one of the last releases whose documentation was in the texinfo format (the format the {{man}} extension parses).
