print-length

$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $

Variable

Package: TOP-LEVEL

When returned values are printed to a Lisp listener, the values of cl:*print-length* and cl:*print-level* are bound to the values of this variable and tpl:*print-level* this variable.

This variable is not available in Lisp images built with a minimal top level, that is built with the include-tpl argument to build-lisp-image specified nil. See 10.0 Minimal top levels in building_images.htm for information on minimal top levels. Warning: because this variable does not exist in a minimal top level image, returned values are printed with the specification of cl:*print-length*. If that value is nil, much more may be printed than actually desired.

See top_level.htm for general information on the top-level.
