file-does-not-exist-error

This condition, a subclass of the file-error condition, is signaled when an attempt is made to load a file that does not exist, when the :if-does-not-exist keyword argument to load is true, which is the default. (Trying to open a file that does not exist but is expected to with open does not signal this condition; it signals file-error.)

Example

(load "nosuchfile.cl")
  Error: "nosuchfile.cl" does not exist, cannot load
  [condition type: file-does-not-exist-error]

;; But
(load "nosuchfile.cl" :if-does-not-exist nil)
  RETURNS nil
