6 Function: specifies the directory to use for temporary segments
7 created in a lisp environment. A directory other than the process
8 dir may be specified.

11 Arguments:
12 path_spec
13 specifies the directory in which to place the
14 temporary segs. This argument is optional and if not given the
15 process directory will be used. If given, the path_spec takes
16 one of the following forms:
17
18 path
19 specifies the absolute or relative pathname of an existing
20 directory.
21 -working_dir, -wd
22 specifies the current working dir for the temp seg storage.
23 -process_dir, -pd
24 specifies the process dir default.

26
27 Notes:
28 Any lisp environment, such as emacs, will be affected by this
29 command. Any new lisp temp segs will be placed in the specified
30 directory. Existing temp segs will not be moved to the new
31 directory. Temp segs placed in a directory other than the process
32 dir will be preserved across processes and system interruptions.
33 While this is useful for debugging and for holding large temp segs,
34 care should be taken to delete obsolete segs as each process will
35 create new copies.
