The function
confirm-quit
calls
quit
, potentially after confirmation from the user.
The behavior of
confirm-quit
when called within LispWorks is determined by a LispWorks user preference, which can be set by
Tools > Global Preferences... > Confirm Before Exiting
. This preference can also be set programmatically (for example in an application) by set-confirm-quit-flag.
If the value of the flag is
:check-editor-files
(the default),
confirm-quit
checks whether there are editor buffers which are associated with files and are modified. If there is at least one such modified buffer,
confirm-quit
prompts the user to decide between three options:
Saves all modified buffers before quitting
Quits without saving
Does not save or quit
If there are no such modified buffers,
confirm-quit
simply calls
quit
.
If the flag is
nil
then
confirm-quit
simply calls
quit
.
If the flag is
t
then
confirm-quit
prompts the user. If there are unsaved buffers, the prompt is as described above, otherwise the prompt is a simple yes/no confirmer dialog.
application-name is used in the prompt to identify the application.
