Chapter 22: The World Outside
Edmund Weitz · Apress eBooks · 2016
This chapter is mostly about stuff that happens “around” your Lisp program. Unless you’re on a Lisp Machine (see page 591), there’ll be an operating system underneath your Lisp system, and from its point of view, your application is just one of many. Likewise, there will be other programs on the same machine. We’ll discuss how you can start and interact with such other programs. We’ll also discuss how you can turn your Lisp code into something that’s behaving as if it were “just another program.” These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
