LISP(1)  —  UNIX Programmer’s Manual

NAME

lisp − lisp interpreter

SYNOPSIS

lisp

DESCRIPTION

Lisp is a lisp interpreter for a dialect which closely resembles MIT’s MACLISP.  This lisp, known as FRANZ LISP, features an I/O facility which allows the user to change the input and output syntax, add macro characters, and maintain compatibility with upper-case only lisp systems; infinite precision integer arithmetic, and an error facility which allows the user to trap system errors in many different ways.  Programs may be debugged using the “Joseph Lister” trace package.  A lisp containing compiled and interpreted code may be dumped into a file for later use. 

There are too many functions to list here; one should refer to the manual listed below. 

FILES
