Symbols

Symbols in ACL2 and operations on them

Symbols are a basic datatype in ACL2 and Common Lisp. Every symbol has two components: its name (see symbol-name) and its package name (see symbol-package-name).

Subtopics

Symbol-listp

Recognizer for a true list of symbols

Symbolp

Recognizer for symbols

Symbol-name

The name of a symbol (a string)

Symbol-package-name

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

Keywordp

Recognizer for keywords

Add-to-set

Add a symbol to a list

Symbol<

Less-than test for symbols

Packn

Build a symbol from a list

Packn-pos

Build a symbol in a specified package from a list

Symbol-name-lst

Lift symbol-name to lists
