touch-system

$Revision: 5.0.2.4 $

Generic Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: (system &rest rest &key &allow-other-keys)

This generic function makes the fasl files of the modules in system up to date by performing a Unix touch command (or equivalent) on each of the fasl files. This is similar to make -t in Unix. The defsystem facility uses the Unix filesystem creation timestamp when checking whether a source file needs to be reloaded or recompiled.

The value of the silent keyword argument can be t or nil. Its default value is nil. t means do not print anything while performing the operation. This is similar to make -s. A non-nil value of simulate overrides silent t.

The value of the simulate keyword argument can be t or nil. t means print the list of actions that would be taken if the operations were to be performed at this time, but do not actually perform the operations. This is similar to make -n.

See defsystem.htm for more information on the defsystem utility.
