If nil
, which is its initial value, Lisp
uses the full package name when printing the package qualifier of a
symbol. If t
, Lisp uses the principal
nickname as the qualifier. The principal nickname is the first element
of the list of nicknames returned by package-nicknames. Users of the trace facility
may find it useful to set this variable to t
.
For example,
(let ((excl:*print-nickname* nil)) (format t "~S~%" 'ff:def-foreign-call))
prints
foreign-functions:def-foreign-call
while
(let ((excl:*print-nickname* t)) (format t "~S~%" 'ff:def-foreign-call))
prints
ff:def-foreign-call
Note: this variable is bound to t
by
apropos and also when
backtraces are printed by the debugger.
See also packages.htm for general information on packages in Allegro CL. The section Package nicknames in that document discusses package nicknames.
