$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $

Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: (&optional pathname)

This function is an extension of the Common Lisp function cl:dribble. dribble-bug called with the optional pathname argument calls several information functions whose output is then placed at the beginning of the dribble file. These information functions include lisp-implementation-type, lisp-implementation-version, machine-type, machine-version, software-type, software-version and short-site-name. The *features* list is also printed along with identifiers of all loaded patches and other miscellaneous information.

If the optional argument is not provided, dribbling to the file is stopped and the file is closed. Note that nested dribbles are not supported, either with this function or dribble.
