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 > Preferences... > Environment > General > 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:
Save Changes |
Saves all modified buffers before quitting. |
Discard Changes |
Quits without saving. |
Cancel |
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.
The LispWorks IDE uses confirm-quit
.
