Description

The function make-pathname and its use of host, device directory, name, type, version, defaults and case are as specified in ANSI Common Lisp with some extensions.

On Windows, when host that is a string with more than one character (so cannot be a drive character), or defaults is an UNC pathname, then make-pathname returns an UNC pathname. See 27.18.5 Windows UNC pathnames (Windows only) for a discussion of UNC pathnames on Windows.
