unexportFunction

    Syntax

    unexport symbols &optional package t

    Arguments and Values

    symbols — a designator for a list of symbols.

    package — a package designator. The default is the current package.

    Description

    unexport reverts external symbols in package to internal status; it undoes the effect of export.

    unexport works only on symbols present in package, switching them back to internal status. If unexport is given a symbol that is already accessible as an internal symbol in package, it does nothing.

    Examples
    (in-package "COMMON-LISP-USER")  #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER"> 
    (export (intern "CONTRABAND" (make-package 'temp)) 'temp)  T 
    (find-symbol "CONTRABAND")  NIL, NIL 
    (use-package 'temp)  T 
    (find-symbol "CONTRABAND")  CONTRABAND, :INHERITED 
    (unexport 'contraband 'temp)  T 
    (find-symbol "CONTRABAND")  NIL, NIL
    Side Effects

    Package system is modified.

    Affected By

    Current state of the package system.

    Exceptional Situations

    If unexport is given a symbol not accessible in package at all, an error of type package-error is signaled.

    The consequences are undefined if package is the KEYWORD package or the COMMON-LISP package.
