suppress-allegro-cl-banner)
This function saves an image of the currently executing Common Lisp as an executable file. The following table gives brief descriptions of the arguments.

Argument |
Value should be: |
Effect |
See |
name | A string naming a file (default "savedcl.dxl"). Image files must have an extension. The usual extension is dxl but any non-null extension will do. | The dumped image will have this name. If no directory is specified, the file will be written to the current working directory. | Warning 2 |
ignore-command-line-arguments | t or nil (default nil ) |
If true, command-line-arguments are ignored during startup and all arguments are considered application arguments (to sys:command-line-arguments and friends) | Note 2 |
suppress-allegro-cl-banner | t or nil (default nil ) |
The Allegro CL copyright banner will not be printed on startup. | Note 3 |
Notes:
t
, tried to restart actual computational state, no longer possible); standalone
(the separate executable/image model means an image cannot be standalone).nil
value, then the following warning is issued: You are allowed to suppress (i.e., not display) the Franz Inc. supplied copyright banner in your application, if and only if you agree to display Franz Inc. copyright and proprietary notices wherever you display your own copyright or other proprietary notices.
Warning 1: excl:dumplisp is significantly changed from earlier releases. Certain arguments have been removed as noted in Note 1 above.
Warning 2: This function depends on the current running Lisp image file to be present and readable (i.e. it cannot be read-protected) and not stripped. Therefore you cannot delete that file before running excl:dumplisp and you cannot specify that file as the value of the name argument.
