find-window

Arguments: name &optional parent-or-owner

Returns the window whose name is name and whose parent or owner is parent-or-owner (which can be nil if there is no such window). The default value of parent-or-owner is the screen, and so this argument need not be passed in order to find any top-level window (since the parent of a top-level window is always the screen). The screen is the value returned by (screen *system*). See screen and *system*.

name should be the symbol that was passed as the value of the name initarg to make-window (or passed to (setf name) to rename the window later). The parent-or-owner should either be the window or screen that was passed as the value of the owner argument to make-window, or alternately the screen in the case of an owned top-level window (whose owner is another window but whose parent is the screen).

A more general function for finding objects from their names and ancestor objects is find-named-object.
