fasl-read

Arguments: file

This function loads the data previously written to a file using fasl-write. The return value is a list of the data items written to the file. The list will have one element for each invocation of fasl-write used in creating the file. The data returned is independent of the value of *package* when fasl-read is called.

The file argument must be a filename specified as for load. Standard load search-list processing is done on this name to find a file to load (see Search lists in loading.htm). The file that is loaded must have been written using fasl-write.

Application note

fasl-read and fasl-write require the compiler so they are not available in application images without the compiler.

See The fasl reader/writer in miscellaneous.htm, and see fasl-write.
