| ANSI Common Lisp 1 Introduction 1.4 Definitions 1.4.4 Interpreting Dictionary Entries ### 1.4.4.14 The "Name" Section of a Dictionary Entry This section introduces the dictionary entry. It is not explicitly labeled. It appears preceded and followed by a horizontal bar. In large print at left, the defined name appears; if more than one defined name is to be described by the entry, all such names are shown separated by commas. In somewhat smaller italic print at right is an indication of what kind of dictionary entry this is. Possible values are: Accessor This is an accessor function. Class This is a class. Condition Type This is a subtype of type condition. Constant Variable This is a constant variable. Declaration This is a declaration identifier. Function This is a function. Local Function This is a function that is defined only lexically within the scope of some other macro form. Local Macro This is a macro that is defined only lexically within the scope of some other macro form. Macro This is a macro. Restart This is a restart. Special Operator This is a special operator. Standard Generic Function This is a standard generic function. Symbol This is a symbol that is specially recognized in some particular situation, such as the syntax of a macro. System Class This is like class, but it identifies a class that is potentially a built-in class. (No class is actually required to be a built-in class.) Type This is an atomic type specifier, and depending on information for each particular entry, may subject to form other type specifiers. Type Specifier This is a defined name that is not an atomic type specifier, but that can be used in constructing valid type specifiers. Variable This is a dynamic variable.
