+follow a extensible protocol.
 
+This allows the addition of behaviours:
+for example, @code{cffi} adds support of special FFI description files
+to interface with C libraries and of wrapper files to embed C code in Lisp;
+ at code{abcl-jar} supports creating Java JAR archives in ABCL;
+and @code{poiu} supports for compiling code in parallel using background processes.
+
+This chapter deals with @code{component}s and @code{operation}s.
+
+A @code{component} represents an individual source file or a group of source files,
+and the things that get transformed into.
+A @code{system} is a component at the top level of the component hierarchy.
+A @code{source-file} is a component representing a single source-file
+and the successive output files into which it is transformed.
+A @code{module} is an intermediate component itself grouping several other components,
+themselves source-files or further modules.
+
+An @code{Operation} represents a transformation that can be performed on a component,
+turning them from source files to intermediate results to final outputs.
+
+A pair of an @code{operation} and a @code{component} is called an @code{action}.
+An @code{action} represents a particular build step to be @code{perform}ed,
+after all its dependencies have been fulfilled.
+In the ASDF model, actions depend on other actions.
+The term @emph{action} itself was used by Kent Pitman in his old article,
+but was only used by ASDF hackers starting with the ASDF 2;
+but the concept is ubiquitous since the very beginning of ASDF 1,
+though previously implicit.
+
+Then, there are many @emph{functions} available
+to users, extenders and implementers of ASDF
+to use, define or implement the activities
+that are part of building your software.
+Though they manipulate @code{action}s,
+most of these functions do not take as an argument
+a reified pair (a CONS cell) of an operation and a component;
+instead, they usually take two separate arguments,
+which allows to take advantage of the power CLOS-style multiple dispatch
+for fun and profit.
+
+There are many @emph{hooks} in which to add functionality,
+by customizing the behavior of existing @emph{functions}.
+
+Last but not least is the notion of @emph{dependency} between two actions.
+The structure of dependencies between actions is
+a directed @emph{dependency graph}.
+ASDF is invoked by being told to @emph{operate}
+with some @emph{operation} on some toplevel @emph{system};
+it will then @emph{traverse} the graph and build a @emph{plan}
+that follows its structure.
+To be successfully buildable, this graph of actions but be acyclic.
+If, as a user, extender or implementer of ASDF, you fail
+to keep the dependency graph without cycles,
+ASDF will fail loudly as it eventually finds one.
+
+To clearly distinguish the direction of dependencies,
+ASDF 2.27 introduces the words @emph{parent} and @emph{child}
+as applied to an action depending on the other:
+the parent action @code{depends-on} the completion of all children actions
+before it may itself be @code{perform}ed.
+ASDF has long had parent operations and children operations,
+whereby the ancestor holds some options valid for all the children (notably regarding forcing).
+
+Using the defsystem syntax, users may easily express
+direct dependencies along the graph of the object hierarchy:
+between a component and its parent, its children, and its siblings.
+By defining custom CLOS methods, you can express more elaborate dependencies as you wish.
+Most common operations, such as @code{load-op}, @code{compile-op} or @code{load-source-op}
+automatically ``descend'' the component hierarchy and are ``covariant'' with it:
+to act the operation on the parent module, you must first act it on all the children components,
+with the action on the parent being parent of the action on each child.
+Other operations, such as @code{parent-load-op} and @code{parent-load-source-op}
+(introduced in ASDF 2.27) ``ascend'' the component hierarchy and are ``contravariant'' with it:
+to act the operation on the child component, you must first act it on all its parent module, and so on,
+ensuring that all the module's dependencies are (compiled and) loaded
+before the child component may be compiled and loaded.
+Yet other operations, such as @code{test-op} or @code{load-fasl-op}
+remain at the system level, and do not descend the hierarchy,
+instead doing something global.
+Finally, some operations such a POIU's @code{parallel-load-op}
+are not even meant to be performed or to have dependencies,
+but are only ways to specialize @code{operate} into behaving differently
+(in this case, having it operate in parallel).
+
+Parent and child thus mean different things for components and for actions.
+They also mean two different things for operations.
+Each operation has a @code{parent} slot,
+which links it up all the way to an ancestor @emph{operation}
+that contains all configuration data related to the current run of @code{operate}
+(usually the links are made with @code{make-sub-operation}
+which ensures the chain or parents is of length zero or one).
+Each operation also has a notion of a @code{parent-operation},
+such that current operation acting on a current component
+is parent of the parent-operation acting on the parent.
+That's how @code{parent-load-op} is the @code{parent-operation}
+or both @code{load-op} and @code{compile-op} (see above).
+
+It isn't too confusing: parent and child are generic ways to denote a clear directional relationship,
+and whether we're discussing component structure, action structure, operation structure
+or contravariant operation prerequisites, it is usually very clear which relationship we're discussing.

+
+Each entry returned by @code{component-depends-on} is itself a list.
+
+The first element of an entry is the name of an operation:
+a symbol that you can use with @code{make-instance}
+(ASDF will instead use with @code{asdf::make-sub-operation}),
+to create a related operation for use in a build plan.
+For instance, @code{load-op} and @code{compile-op}
+are common such names, denoting the respective operations.
+
+The rest of an entry is a list of identifiers
+each denote a component such that
+the pair of the previous operation and this component
+is a children action of current action.
+
+Identifiers follow the @code{defsystem} grammar
+previously documented.
+The main format for identifiers is a string or symbol
+(that will be downcase as per @code{coerce-name}),
+and looked up against the sibling list of the parent module's children components,
+as per @code{find-component}.
+As a special case, @code{nil} denotes the parent itself.
+Other syntaxes are allowed, for instance to specify a component with a version.

+run-program takes a @var{COMMAND} argument that is either
+a list of a program path and its arguments,
+or a string to be executed by a shell.
+It spawns the command, waits for it to return,
+verifies that it exited cleanly (unless told not too below),
+and optionally captures and processes its output.
+It accepts many keyword arguments to configure its behavior.
+
+ at code{output} is its most important argument;

+If it is @code{nil}, then the output is not captured.
+If it is @code{:interactive}, then
+input and output are inherited from the current process,
+which the subprocess can control until it exits.
+Otherwise, the output is captured and redirected to a stream,

+If the object is a function, the function is called with the stream as argument.
+
+If the object is a cons, its first element is applied to its rest appended by
+a list of the input stream.
+
+If the object is an output stream, the contents of the input stream are copied to it.
+If the linewise argument is provided, copying happens line by line,
+and an optional prefix is printed before each line.
+Otherwise, copying happen based on a buffer of size buffer-size,
+using the element-type.
+
+If the object is 'string or :string, the content is captured into a string
+of the given element-type.
+
+If the object is :lines, the content is captured as a list of strings,
+one per line, without line ending. If the count argument is provided,
+it is a maximum count of lines to be read.
+
+If the object is :line, the content is capture as with :lines above,

+
+Unix syntax is used whether or not the underlying system is Unix;
+on such non-Unix systems it is only usable but for relative pathnames;
+but especially to manipulate relative pathnames portably, it is of crucial
+to possess a portable pathname syntax independent of the underlying OS.
+This is what PARSE-UNIX-NAMESTRING provides, and why we use it in ASDF.
+
+When given a PATHNAME object, just return it untouched.
+When given NIL, just return NIL.
+When given a non-null SYMBOL, first downcase its name and treat it as a string.
+When given a STRING, portably decompose it into a pathname as below.
+
+#\\/ separates directory components.
+
+The last #\\/-separated substring is interpreted as follows:
+1- If TYPE is :DIRECTORY or ENSURE-DIRECTORY is true,
+ the string is made the last directory component, and NAME and TYPE are NIL.
+ if the string is empty, it's the empty pathname with all slots NIL.
+2- If TYPE is NIL, the substring is file-namestring, and its NAME and TYPE
+ are separated by SPLIT-NAME-TYPE.
+3- If TYPE is a string, it is the given TYPE, and the whole string is the NAME.
+
+Directory components with an empty name the name . are removed.
+Any directory named .. is read as DOT-DOT,
+which must be one of :BACK or :UP and defaults to :BACK.
+
+HOST, DEVICE and VERSION components are taken from DEFAULTS,
+which itself defaults to (ROOT-PATHNAME), also used if DEFAULTS in NIL.
+No host or device can be specified in the string itself,
+which makes it unsuitable for absolute pathnames outside Unix.
+
+For relative pathnames, these components (and hence the defaults) won't matter
+if you use MERGE-PATHNAMES* but will matter if you use MERGE-PATHNAMES,
+which is an important reason to always use MERGE-PATHNAMES*.
+
+Arbitrary keys are accepted, and the parse result is passed to ENSURE-PATHNAME
+with those keys, removing TYPE DEFAULTS and DOT-DOT.
+When you're manipulating pathnames that are supposed to make sense portably
+even though the OS may not be Unixish, we recommend you use :WANT-RELATIVE T

+optionally doing some transformations and checking specified constraints.
+
+If the argument is NIL, then NIL is returned unless the WANT-PATHNAME constraint is specified.
+
+If the argument is a STRING, it is first converted to a pathname via PARSE-UNIX-NAMESTRING
+reusing the keywords DEFAULTS TYPE DOT-DOT ENSURE-DIRECTORY WANT-RELATIVE;
+then the result is optionally merged into the DEFAULTS if ENSURE-ABSOLUTE is true,
+and the all the checks and transformations are run.
+
+Each non-nil constraint argument can be one of the symbols T, ERROR, CERROR or IGNORE.
+The boolean T is an alias for ERROR.
+ERROR means that an error will be raised if the constraint is not satisfied.
+CERROR means that an continuable error will be raised if the constraint is not satisfied.
+IGNORE means just return NIL instead of the pathname.
+
+The ON-ERROR argument, if not NIL, is a function designator (as per CALL-FUNCTION)
+that will be called with the the following arguments:
+a generic format string for ensure pathname, the pathname,
+the keyword argument corresponding to the failed check or transformation,
+a format string for the reason ENSURE-PATHNAME failed,
+and a list with arguments to that format string.
+If ON-ERROR is NIL, ERROR is used instead, which does the right thing.
+You could also pass (CERROR \"CONTINUE DESPITE FAILED CHECK\").
+
+The transformations and constraint checks are done in this order,
+which is also the order in the lambda-list:
+
+WANT-PATHNAME checks that pathname (after parsing if needed) is not null.
+Otherwise, if the pathname is NIL, ensure-pathname returns NIL.
+WANT-LOGICAL checks that pathname is a LOGICAL-PATHNAME
+WANT-PHYSICAL checks that pathname is not a LOGICAL-PATHNAME
+ENSURE-PHYSICAL ensures that pathname is physical via TRANSLATE-LOGICAL-PATHNAME
+WANT-RELATIVE checks that pathname has a relative directory component
+WANT-ABSOLUTE checks that pathname does have an absolute directory component
+ENSURE-ABSOLUTE merges with the DEFAULTS, then checks again
+that the result absolute is an absolute pathname indeed.
+ENSURE-SUBPATH checks that the pathname is a subpath of the DEFAULTS.
+WANT-FILE checks that pathname has a non-nil FILE component
+WANT-DIRECTORY checks that pathname has nil FILE and TYPE components
+ENSURE-DIRECTORY uses ENSURE-DIRECTORY-PATHNAME to interpret
+any file and type components as being actually a last directory component.
+WANT-NON-WILD checks that pathname is not a wild pathname
+WANT-WILD checks that pathname is a wild pathname
+WILDEN merges the pathname with **/*.*.* if it is not wild
+WANT-EXISTING checks that a file (or directory) exists with that pathname.
+ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST creates any parent directory with ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST.
+TRUENAME replaces the pathname by its truename, or errors if not possible.
+RESOLVE-SYMLINKS replaces the pathname by a variant with symlinks resolved by RESOLVE-SYMLINKS.
+TRUENAMIZE uses TRUENAMIZE to resolve as many symlinks as possible."

+(describe

+   (t (c) c)))
+
+Then you can grep for the condition type in your compiler sources

+and/or read, clear and restore the deferred list.

-;;;; WARNING! The function below is mostly dysfunctional.
-;;;; For instance, it will probably run fine on most implementations on Unix,
-;;;; which will hopefully use the shell /bin/sh (which we force in some cases)
-;;;; which is hopefully reasonably compatible with a POSIX *or* Bourne shell.
-;;;; But behavior on Windows may vary wildly between implementations,
-;;;; either relying on your having installed a POSIX sh, or going through
-;;;; the CMD.EXE interpreter, for a totally different meaning, depending on
-;;;; what is easily expressible in said implementation.
-;;;;
-;;;; We probably should move this functionality to its own system and deprecate
-;;;; use of it from the asdf package. However, this would break unspecified
-;;;; existing software, so until a clear alternative exists, we can't deprecate
-;;;; it, and even after it's been deprecated, we will support it for a few
-;;;; years so everyone has time to migrate away from it. -- fare 2009-12-01
-;;;;
-;;;; As a suggested replacement which is portable to all ASDF-supported
-;;;; implementations and operating systems except Genera, I recommend
-;;;; xcvb-driver's xcvb-driver:run-program/ and its derivatives.
