| I have a function that receive a pathname representing a directory but
| the name and type are set to :unspecific so when I use #'directory on
| this pathname it returns the pathname.

  I'm not sure what it should return in that case, but such a pathname
  argument is not a physically existing pathname.  I'd expect () as the
  return value.

| files in tht directory?

(make-pathname :name :wild :type :wild :defaults <whatever>)
