plist

Arguments: object

Returns argument's property list (abbreviated plist). Among the objects acceptable as an argument are dialog-item, menu-item, outline-item, simple-stream (includes all windows and menus, along with other streams not related to Common Graphics) hotspot, project, and cl:symbol (for symbols, plist calls cl:symbol-plist).

A property list is a list with an even number of elements. The odd elements are keys (typically named by symbols) and the even elements the values corresponding to the keys. The system uses object property lists. Users should add and remove their own key/value pairs but should not remove or modify the system key/value pairs. Also, avoid common words for key names (except on your application's own symbols) as they may already be used by the system.
