* logged a bug * searched for sbcl-devel references and added notes about the need to subscribe (since the mailman bounce message is particularly unhelpful, and I periodically get mail from frustrated would-be posters) * fixed a few typoes * revised a few passages, and completely gave up on trying to summarize SBCL performance in a paragraph in the man page

SBCL is -- ahem! -- imperfectly documented. What can we say? Help with
|
|
documentation might not be refused.:-)
|
|
|
|
There is a Unix man page, sbcl.1.
|
|
|
|
There is a user manual in texinfo format, in doc/manual/. (In
|
|
binary distributions, the compiled-into-HTML translations are also
|
|
included.)
|
|
|
|
Much of the documentation for supported extensions is in their Lisp
|
|
doc strings. For example, to find out how to use the SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE
|
|
function in the SB-EXT package, you can execute
|
|
(documentation 'sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die 'function)
|
|
or
|
|
(describe 'sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die)
|
|
in SBCL.
|
|
|
|
The user manual is incomplete, and some of its chapters are just notes
|
|
that "this is similar to chapter such-and-such of the CMU CL user
|
|
manual". The old CMU CL documentation can still be useful both for
|
|
missing chapters of the user manual and for documentation of the
|
|
internals of the system. It can be downloaded from
|
|
<ftp://sbcl.sourceforge.net/pub/sbcl/cmucl-docs.tar.bz2>.
