You can use popen() to run pwd in a shell. It'll give you the same answer
as calling getcwd() from within the APL process.
A file's presence can be probed using fstat(). A negative return value
denotes the absence of the file.
popen() and fstat() are already exposed via lib_file_io.
Take a look
Elias' thread about docstrings got me to thinking about other function
metadata.
One thing that might be nice to have is for APL to record the source
location of a function's definition.
If the function is defined in a file, record the path and the line number
of the first line of the definition.
You must set errno = 0 before calling access(). Otherwise the lib_file_io
return value may be incorrect upon success.

Picking up the function name at point doesn't quite work; it stops at _.
You may want to make sure that all valid APL break characters {_⍙∆¯} are

handled until the next newline.
To see this, enter the characters Control-C, 1, Return.

J'uergen,
I noticed this paragraph in the readline documentation:
" Readline contains an internal signal handler that is installed for a
number of signals (`SIGINT', `SIGQUIT', `SIGTERM', `SIGALRM',
`SIGTSTP', `SIGTTIN', and `SIGTTOU'). When one of these signals is
received, the signal handler

I finally managed to isolate the cause of )CHECK's state value report for
my package manager.
The attached test case has a two-line function, a call to that function,
and the )CHECK command. This reliably produces two stale values on my
installations of GNU APL.

1) In section 1.3, in the description of the `--` option, there's an
em-dash rather than two hyphens.
2) In section 2.1.3, Example 1 the 37 (for some reason that I don't
understand) displays as a header (large and bold). I've seen this on all of
my installations.

For a mode-1 ]usercmd, the left argument passed to the user function is a
list of tokens.
Would it be possible to pass the ravel of each token? Currently, a sequence
of single-character tokens get collapsed into a single token.

1) Sometimes a make complains that aclocal- is missing. It is in
fact present, but a different version. It's possible to clear this warning
by doing a make distclean followed by ./configure and make. I'm not sure
what triggers this; I suspect that the `missing` script doesn't get rebuilt

I'm not sure where it'd best be noted, but the info file makes no mention
