style=null: list of symbols in'(enter-packages)Obtains a directory pathname from the user via the platform-specific standard (modal) dialog, using
parentas the parent window if it is specified.If
directoryis not#f, it is used on some platforms as the starting directory for the directory selector (otherwise the starting directory is chosen automatically in a platform-specific manner, usually based on the current directory and the user's interactions in previous calls toget-file,put-file, etc.).The
styleargument is treated as forget-fileexcept that only'commonor'enter-packagescan be specified. The latter matters only under Mac OS X, where'enter-packagesenables the user to select package directory or a directory within a package. A package is a directory with a special suffix (e.g., ``.app'') that the Finder normally displays like a file.See also
