$Revision: 5.0.2.4 $
Package: EXCL
This variable is used when Lisp is starting up to determine whether the initializations files ~/.clinit.cl, ~/clinit.cl, <working-directory>/.clinit.cl, <working-directory>/clinit.cl, and sys:syteinit.cl should be read. The command-line arguments -q and -qq can suppress reading of these files when this variable is non-nil as described in startup.htm. The following table shows the possible values of these variables and their effects:
Value |
Effect |
| t | Read all initialization files. |
| nil | Do not read any initialization file. |
| :no-home | Read <working-directory>/[.]clinit.cl and sys:siteinit.cl only. |
Because command-line arguments are processed before initialization files are read, and -e arguments are processed before -q or -qq, this variable can be reset with a -e argument (see the discussion of command-line arguments in startup.htm).
See startup.htm for information on reading initialization files. See also excl:*init-file-names* which is a list of string naming the files to be looked for in the home and working directories.
The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index is in index.htm.
