Arguments and Values:

pathspec - a logical pathname, a logical pathname namestring, or a stream.

logical-pathname converts pathspec to a_logical pathname_ and returns the new logical pathname. If pathspec is a logical pathname namestring, it should contain a host component and its following colon. If pathspec is a stream, it should be one for which pathname returns a logical pathname.

If pathspec is a stream, the stream can be either open or closed.logical-pathname returns the same logical pathname after a file is closed as it did when the file was open. It is an error if pathspec is a stream that is created withmake-two-way-stream, make-echo-stream, make-broadcast-stream, make-concatenated-stream,make-string-input-stream, ormake-string-output-stream.
