Arguments: configuration
Use of this accessor is deprecated. Programmers should bind or set the
associated global variable (*print-case*
in this case) directly. The
default methods simply return or set the value of that global
variable.
Configurations contain information about the Lisp environment. The
current configuration is
the value of (configuration
*system*)
(see configuration and *system*
).
Among the information stored is the desired value for many standard global variables. These globals are set to these values when the system is initialized. Changing a value in the configuration changes the current value of the global. Accessors are typically named with a symbol named the same as the global variable but without the surrounding stars (if any).
This function accesses the value of the print-case property, which
corresponds to the *print-case*
global variable. This global
variable controls the way symbols are printed. The values can be
:upcase
and :downcase
. If the
value is :upcase, symbols are printed in all uppercase, if :downcase,
they are printed in all lowercase. The initial value for the IDE is
:upcase
.
print-case is a
property of the configuration
class.
You can examine and change configuration options with the inspector. Choose Tools | Inspect System Data | Configuration Options.
