[Common Lisp] Best Libraries for Interfacing with UNIX-like Operating Systems?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Common_Lisp

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cl-autowrap

    (c-include "file.h") => complete FFI wrapper

  • In recent years there has also been cl-autowrap; caveats -

  • cl-cblas

    C2FFI based wrapper for CBLAS

  • (ii) generating the bindings for the first time can be a fair bit of work involving installation of the correct version of clang and c2ffi; community maintained repos can make this latter step super easy by not having to install clang and c2ffi; I made a repo for cblas but it's by no means stable or cross-platform (or perhaps even cross-unix-like) yet.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cl-rashell

    Resilient replicant Shell Programming Library for Common Lisp

  • I have written Rashell a Common Lisp (SBCL) library which makes it easy to interface with Unix tools in general and core POSIX utilities in particular.
