@c * The existence and meaning of SYS: logical pathnames is
@c implementation-defined. (19.3.1.1.1)
+The logical pathname host named by @code{"SYS"} exists in SBCL. Its
+@code{logical-pathname-translations} may be set by the site or the user
+applicable to point to the locations of the system's sources; in
+particular, the core system's source files match the logical pathname
+@code{"SYS:SRC;**;*.*.*"}, and the contributed modules' source files
+match @code{"SYS:CONTRIB;**;*.*.*"}.
