package-parent

Arguments: package-specifier

package-specifier must be a package object, or a symbol or string naming a package. This function returns the parent package of the package specified by the argument. An error is signaled if there is not a parent.

This function is not intended to be called directly in ordinary circumstances (it might be called in association with debugging).

See the section Hierarchical Packages in packages.htm for information on the hierarchical package extension in Allegro CL. Parent packages are part of that extension.
