Packages

Collections of symbols that act as namespaces.

Packages are collections of symbols. They can be used to avoid name conflicts when working on large ACL2 projects. See working-with-packages for the best practices in setting up and using packages.

Subtopics

Defpkg

Define a new symbol package

*ACL2-exports*

Symbols that are often imported into new packages to provide easy access to ACL2 functionality.

Package-reincarnation-import-restrictions

Re-defining undone defpkgs

*common-lisp-symbols-from-main-lisp-package*

Symbols that are often imported into new packages to provide easy access to Common Lisp functionality.

Pkg-imports

List of symbols imported into a given package

Hidden-death-package

Handling defpkg events that are local

Symbol-package-name

The name of the package of a symbol (a string)

Intern

Create a new symbol in a given package

Working-with-packages

How to set up new package and portcullis files.

Intern-in-package-of-symbol

Create a symbol with a given name

ACL2-user

A package the ACL2 user may prefer

Packages-for-generated-symbols

Convention for packages of generated symbols

In-package

Select current package

Pkg-witness

Return a specific symbol in the indicated package

*ACL2-system-exports*

An extension of *ACL2-exports* that includes the names of many system-level ACL2 functions.

Intern$

Create a new symbol in a given package

Sharp-bang-reader

Package prefix that is not restricted to symbols

Managing-ACL2-packages

User-contributed documentation on packages

Hidden-defpkg

Handling defpkg events that are local
