Error-checking

Ensure-symbol-function

Cause an error if a symbol is not the name of an existing function.

Signature
(ensure-symbol-function symb description error-erp error-val ctx state) → (mv erp val state)
Arguments: symb — Symbol to check.
Guard (symbolp symb).; description — Guard (msgp description).; error-erp — Flag to return in case of error.; error-val — Value to return in case of error.; ctx — Context for errors.
Returns: erp — Type (implies erp (equal erp error-erp)).; val — Type (and (implies erp (equal val error-val)) (implies (and (not erp) error-erp) (not val))) .
