pathname—a pathname designator.
Field-key—one of :host,
:device
:directory,
:name,
:type,
:version,
or nil
.
generalized-boolean—a generalized boolean.
wild-pathname-p
tests pathname for the presence of wildcard components.
If pathname is a pathname (as returned by pathname
)
it represents the name used to open the file. This may be, but is
not required to be, the actual name of the file.
If field-key is not supplied or nil
, wild-pathname-p
returns true if pathname has any wildcard components, nil
if pathname has none.
If field-key is non-nil, wild-pathname-p
returns true if the indicated component of pathname is a wildcard,
nil
if the component is not a wildcard.
;;;The following examples are not portable. They are written to run ;;;with particular file systems and particular wildcard conventions. ;;;Other implementations will behave differently. These examples are ;;;intended to be illustrative, not to be prescriptive. (wild-pathname-p (make-pathname :name :wild)) → true (wild-pathname-p (make-pathname :name :wild) :name) → true (wild-pathname-p (make-pathname :name :wild) :type) → false (wild-pathname-p (pathname "s:>foo>**>")) → true ;Lispm (wild-pathname-p (pathname :name "F*O")) → true ;Most places
If pathname is not a pathname, a string,
or a stream associated with a file an error of type type-error
is signaled.

Not all implementations support wildcards in all fields. See Section 19.2.2.2.2 (.WILD as a Component Value) and Section 19.2.2.3 (Restrictions on Wildcard Pathnames).
