5.3 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 128 > (inspect "a

string with

newlines in it")

"a

string with

newlines in it" is a SIMPLE-BASE-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 or :dr for more)

CL-USER 129 : Inspect 1 > :m

* 1. SIMPLE-STRING

  2. LINES

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

The asterisk next to

means that SIMPLE-STRING is the current inspection mode.

You can change mode by typing :m followed by the name or number of another mode. To change to LINES mode:

CL-USER 130 : Inspect 1 > :m 2

"a

string with

newlines in it" is a SIMPLE-BASE-STRING

0      a

1      string with

2      newlines in it
