<I>symbol</I>---a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#symbol"><I>symbol</I></A>. <P>
<I>environment</I>---an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#environment"><I>environment</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A>. <P>

<P><B>Description:</B><P>
<P>
Determines whether <I>symbol</I> has a function definition as a macro in the specified <I>environment</I>. <P>
If so, the macro expansion function, a function of two arguments, is returned. If <I>symbol</I> has no function definition in the lexical environment <I>environment</I>, or its definition is not a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#macro"><I>macro</I></A>, <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#macro-function"><B>macro-function</B></A> returns <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A>. <P>
<P>
<P>
It is possible for both <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#macro-function"><B>macro-function</B></A> and <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_specia.htm#special-operator-p"><B>special-operator-p</B></A> to return <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#true"><I>true</I></A> of <I>symbol</I>. The <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#macro"><I>macro</I></A> definition must be available for use by programs that understand only the standard Common Lisp <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#special_form"><I>special forms</I></A>. <P>
<P><B>Examples:</B><P>
<PRE>
(defmacro macfun (x) '(macro-function 'macfun)) =&gt; MACFUN
(not (macro-function 'macfun)) =&gt; <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#false">false</A>

</TT>

<P><B>Exceptional Situations:</B><P>
<P>
The consequences are undefined if <I>environment</I> is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_n.htm#non-nil"><I>non-nil</I></A> in a use of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_setf_.htm#setf"><B>setf</B></A> of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#macro-function"><B>macro-function</B></A>. <P>

<P><B>Notes:</B><P>
<P>
<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_setf_.htm#setf"><B>setf</B></A> can be used with <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#macro-function"><B>macro-function</B></A> to install a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#macro"><I>macro</I></A> as a symbol's global function definition: <P>
<PRE>
(setf (macro-function symbol) fn)
</PRE>
</TT> The value installed must be a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> that accepts two arguments, the entire macro call and an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#environment"><I>environment</I></A>, and computes the expansion for that call. Performing this operation causes <I>symbol</I> to have only that macro definition as its global function definition; any previous definition, whether as a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#macro"><I>macro</I></A> or as a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A>, is lost. <P>
