*trace-print-length*
controls the number of components of an object which are printed during output from tracing. If its value is a positive integer then the first
*trace-print-length*
components are printed.
*print-length*
is bound to the value of
*trace-print-length*
while printing tracing information. If
*trace-print-length*
is
nil
then all the components of the object are printed.
