 ANSI Common Lisp    5 Data and Control Flow    5.3 Dictionary of Data and Control Flow
 
 - Syntax:
 - 
fboundp
name
  
  generalized-boolean
  - Pronunciation:
 - 
[ 'ef'baündpê ]
  - Arguments and Values:
 - 
name - a function name.
generalized-boolean - a generalized boolean.
 
  - Description:
 - 
Returns true if name is fbound; otherwise, returns false.
  - Examples:
 - 
 (fboundp 'car)   true
 (fboundp 'nth-value)   false
 (fboundp 'with-open-file)   true
 (fboundp 'unwind-protect)   true
 (defun my-function (x) x)    MY-FUNCTION
 (fboundp 'my-function)   true
 (let ((saved-definition (symbol-function 'my-function)))
   (unwind-protect (progn (fmakunbound 'my-function)
                          (fboundp 'my-function))
     (setf (symbol-function 'my-function) saved-definition)))
  false
 (fboundp 'my-function)   true
 (defmacro my-macro (x) `',x)    MY-MACRO
 (fboundp 'my-macro)   true
 (fmakunbound 'my-function)    MY-FUNCTION
 (fboundp 'my-function)   false
 (flet ((my-function (x) x))
   (fboundp 'my-function))   false
 
  - Exceptional Situations:
 - 
Should signal an error of type type-error if name is not a function name.
  - See Also:
 - 
symbol-function, fmakunbound, fdefinition
  - Notes:
 - 
It is permissible to call symbol-function on any symbol
that is fbound.
fboundp is sometimes used to "guard"
an access to the function cell, as in:
 
(if (fboundp x) (symbol-function x))
 
Defining a setf expander F does not cause the setf function
(setf F) to become defined.
 
  - Allegro CL Implementation Details:
 - 
 None.
