The
:members
keyword to defsystem is used to specify the members of a system. The argument given to
:members
is a list of strings. A system member is either a file or another system, identified by a name. If a full pathname is given then the function
pathname-name
is used to identify the name of the member. Thus, for example, the name of a member expressed as
/u/neald/foo.lisp
is
foo
.
The behavior of any member within a system can be constrained by supplying keyword arguments to the member itself. So, for example, specifying the
:source-only
keyword ensures that only the source file for that member is ever loaded.
