A file is simply an area on a particular storage device which contains data or text. Files on the disks are figuratively grouped into "directories". A directory is just a list of files. Commands which deal with files are:
appendfile batch batchload closefile file_output_append filename_merge file_search file_search_maxima file_search_lisp file_search_demo file_search_usage file_search_tests file_type file_type_lisp file_type_maxima load load_pathname loadfile loadprint pathname_directory pathname_name pathname_type printfile save stringout with_stdout writefile
When a file name is passed to functions like plot2d
,
save
, or writefile
and the file name does not include a path,
Maxima stores the file in the current working directory. The current working
directory depends on the system like Windows or Linux and on the installation.
