4.3 Inspection modes

The :m command displays and changes the current inspection mode for an inspected value. The session below demonstrates how it works:

CL-USER 1 > (inspect "a

string with

newlines in it")
 

"a

string with

newlines in it" is a STRING

[0]   :  "a"

[1]   :  "string with"

[2]   :  "newlines in it"

CL-USER 2 : Inspect 1 > :m 

  1. STRING

* 2. LINES

CL-USER 3 : Inspect 1 >

The :m produces an enumerated list of inspection modes for this value.

The asterisk next to

means that LINES is the current inspection mode.

You can change mode by typing :m followed by the name or number of the mode to which you are changing:

CL-USER 3 : Inspect 1 > :m 1
 

"a

string with

newlines in it" is a STRING

[0]    :  #\a

[1]    :  #\Newline

[2]    :  #\s

[3]    :  #\t

[4]    :  #\r

[5]    :  #\i

[6]    :  #\n

[7]    :  #\g

[8]    :  #\Space

[9]    :  #\w

[10]   :  #\i

[11]   :  #\t

[12]   :  #\h

[13]   :  #\Newline

[14]   :  #\n

[15]   :  #\e

[16]   :  #\w

[17]   :  #\l

[18]   :  #\i

[19]   :  #\n ........ (:dm for more)
