*load-search-list*

$Revision: 5.0.2.2 $

Variable

Package: SYSTEM

The value of this variable is a search list used by cl:load (and equivalents like the :ld top-level command) to find a file to load when incomplete pathname information is supplied. See 2.0 Search lists in loading.htm for a description of the search list algorithm and structure.

While it the value may vary from platform to platform, the initial load search list is typically quite simple, with a value like

(#p"" #p(:type "fasl") #p(:type "cl") #p(:type "lisp"))

That tells what file type to look for when no type is provided.

See loading.htm for general information on loading and search lists in Allegro CL.

The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index in index.htm.
